A confident movie that tackles a worthwhile topic with insight and conviction.January 01, 2000
The movie draws from the works that preceded it, then takes to the street with a too-cool hip-hop strut.January 01, 2000

A skillful and convincing rise-and-fall story.August 07, 2008
Almost liked this one about greedy, young stockbrokers working for an illegal firm, but hated the ending so much it derailed the movie.December 22, 2010
Good but mature movie. Not for kids.March 19, 2002
