Date: March 16th, 2022 1:09 PM Author: arousing multi-billionaire headpube I like Boiler Room because that is a defining role for Giovanni Ribisi and I think he did a good job. But the plot and Vin Diesel and Ben Affleck are ridiculous. A federal judge? No way a kid like that isn’t more prestigious. |
