Intensity


“You’re on my team, kid. I’m not on yours. And don’t you ever forget that.” Thus spake Greg (Nicky Katt) to newbie Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi), taking the new hotshot salesman down, in what is one of the most intense brokerage firms in New York – the fictitious JT Martin. Intensity and unscrupulousness go hand in hand as pure greed drives JT Martin’s salesmen to dump worthless penny stocks on unsuspecting victims. Boiler Room, one of the eponymous Wall Street movies of its time, just reminds us that the ethics of the chop shop are still alive and well in Wall Street and elsewhere, come 2014
