Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

justbusinessthebook Perhaps because I did not see the 1987 version, I found this 2010 version a compelling watch. Perhaps because I was in private business and found the 2008 meltdown too predictable, I found 'just another' movie about greed a compelling watch. And, no, I did not find the main lady unfeminine as another reviewer apparently did. Carey Mulligan added a depth of vulnerability and sexuality that came across with good acting, not naked exposure. Beauty is, I suppose, in the eye of the beholder. While I have lost that admiration I once had for Michael Douglas, I found his and the other actors' performances most entertaining. I would be more compelled to give this movie a nine because its story and filming drew me in. I found none of it boring but maybe that was because I found the reality of its various characters too real in comparison to characters I met on both sides of that Canadian border in business life before this economic meltdown happened. Perhaps the movie is not so sincere because it portrays real tyrants as being made accountable in the end. That is yet to happen in the real world. But the irony is in what happened after I bought this DVD as a Blu-ray/Digital copy package as a 'collector's edition'. Yup, good old greed came to play as the Fox corporation made great promises on its packaging about how this movie could be played on all of my personal devices. And then Fox tried to shut down its use after I had downloaded only one copy with their special 'registration code'. As if I were in this movie, I had to challenge FDC about false advertising. Bankers. Business. False promises to the endless benefits we will accrue. Sad parallels remain in our world. Ironic that this is a movie about greed and what is essentially false advertising about the ethics of our big businesses. Oh, perhaps I should bump the rating up to 10 because, really, the movie expresses emotions about betrayal and dishonesty in such a pretty way that it is really a continuing statement of the hypocrisies of big business. That these people still have to be challenged to be true to their word instead of becoming just another proponent of greed? This movie should cause all of us to pause to ask: am I really just another enabling part of all of this? A beautifully filmed movie in interesting locations, if nothing else. But all else, especially the acting, came together to make this a movie that really mattered in the end to me. Fiction? Yes, I am glad that I bought the movie and after watching it twice to catch all of the hidden nuances, I do know that I will watch it again. After I cool down about Fox playing their own dirty business games.

blanche-2 Michael Douglas has another go as Wall Street crook Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps" from 2010, directed by Oliver Stone. It's 2001, and Gordon has just been released from prison and has written a book. His daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), who wants nothing to do with him, now runs a liberal website and is engaged to Jake Moore (Shia LeBoeuf), an ambitious broker. When Jake's boss and mentor takes his life thanks to rumors of his company failing started by Bretton James (Josh Brolin), Jake wants revenge. Gordon Gekko can possibly help him -- after all, James is an enemy of his as well. In return, Gekko wants a relationship with his daughter.Another big stock market crash, this one from 2008, serves as the background for this film, which crashes right along with the market. The acting is okay, but the story is derivative and predictable. At 133 minutes, it seems overly long, and Oliver Stone has done better work. Disappointing, as I'm sure many people were looking forward to this film after "Wall Street."

Adam Peters (42%) Gets by with the brilliance of Michael Douglas's acting ability as well the decent supporting cast, but the story simply boils down to a seen-it- all-before family drama about a father trying to regain his child's affection. I hated the clear product placement during what should have been one of the films more interesting parts when Gekko, after many years apart, is about to have dinner with his daughter ("want a Heineken?" as the camera cuts away from the actors to show a cold one just like a TV ad) and the pointless motorcycle scene that is only there so they could put it in the trailer. Without the good cast and decent direction this would have been a right old stinker, as it is it's just plain average at best.

kthongphanich This movie has got to be one of my all-time favourites. It has changed my life and also the way I see it. Producer has well emphasised on the importance of financial sectors, but there were so many technical terms that most people cannot understand its implicit meanings. With a perfect mix between father-daughter relationship difficulties and financial crisis, the producer has shown an amazing link between these two, and I must say that it really did get to my heart. I feel like this movie was made for me only because it reflected lots of my own history. It also provided lots of information to myself about finance 101.However, it is still far from 10 because it failed to keep my attention through out the movie, so that is the reason why I decided to knock-down 2 points from it.
