Looks pretty good. Has anyone seen it? Does it have many extras?

I really enjoyed this film. Giovanni Ribisi is a great actor and its nice seeing him being reunited again with Vin Diesel and Nicky Katt.
I'm not a big fan of the broken commentary thing but Director Ben Younger and Producer Jennifer Todd are pleasant to listen to. Ribisi's commentary was edited in. It would have been nice to hear them all 3 together doing the commentary though. Maybe with Katt and Diesel too. But I guess thats asking too much. There is also another Isolated Score commentary by "The Angel." No comment.
There are some quite short and interesting deleted scenes. Especially the "party" one. I wasn't expecting to see sex in this film. It just never came to mind. The alternate ending is also there, though not as quite as good as the original. Good job to them for not using it.
Nonetheless, Boiler Room is very enjoyable with a nice cast...and nice suits.
