Wallstreet is an intense look into the real world of corrupt corporate companies controlled by the stock market. Charlie Sheen plays the perfect patsy to Michael Douglas's slick, corrupt character. Sheen's rise to the top of the corporate traders gambling ring is as good as it could have ever been protrayed. I highly recommend this one.

Another terrific feather in Oliver Stone's hat

"The main thing about money, Bud, is that it makes you do things you don't want to do."

Filmmaker Oliver Stone's name has become synonymous with the word "controversial". Love or hate his movies, though, there is no denying the allure to his projects, not to mention the superior craftsmanship and the keen sense of storytelling that ensures each film he creates is worth seeing. 1987'... read more

One of Stone's finest films.

This was randomly on television one night a few months back and seeing as I hadn't watched it yet and was meaning to watch it anyway, I decided to give it a go and I am certainly glad I did decide that. I wasn't expecting loads from Wall Street like I have done for other films in the past but, quite frankly, I pretty much got everything that I wanted. I think a lot of people who are about to watch... read more

Description: Michael Douglas won an Oscar for perfectly embodying the Reagan-era credo that "greed is good." As a Donald Trump-like Wall Street raider aptly named Gordon Gecko (for his reptilian ability to attack corporate targets and swallow them whole), Douglas found a role tailor-made to his skill in portraying heartless men who've sa ...

Almost a complete review of Oliver Stone's work (23 movies items)

" Cast : Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas, Martin Sheen, Terence Stamp, Sean Young, Daryl Hannah, James Spader What was it about? A young and impatient stockbroker is willing to do anything to get to the top, including trading on illegal inside information taken through a ruthless and greedy corporate raider who takes the youth under his wing. My two cents: It is another major classic directed by Oliver Stone but, to be honest, I thought it was slightly disappointing. I mean, it remains a nic"

"Wall Street isn't a movie to make one think. It simply confirms what we all know we should think, while giving us a tantalizing, Sidney Sheldon-like peek into the boardrooms and bedrooms of the rich and powerful. - Vincent Canby, New York Times With its posturing politics and cardboard characterizations, Wall Street is not up to past standards. - Rita Kempley, Washington Post In Wall Street...you will see the evil, capitalistic impulses of man. Towards the end, you will see the self-righteo"

" The Ups: Excellent ensemble, great story premise that try to tell something, Michael Douglas' Gordon Gekko is the perfect economic villain. The Downs: The moralistic ending where the power and moneyhungry hero starts to weep."

"It is understood that if one wants to bring home the bacon, one's gotta take risks. Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) is an ambitious broker of stock exchange. One day, gives to Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) some secret information and turns into his pupil, putting aside ethics, virtues and scruples, only intending to succeed. "
