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.

Furthermore, the whole thing about the young stockbroker being attracted by greed but ... 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 sacrificed humanity to power. He's a slick, seductive role model for the young ambitious Wall Street broker played by Charlie Sheen, who falls into Gecko's sphere of influence and instantly succumbs to the allure of risky deals and generous payoffs. With such perks as a high-rise apartment and women w ... (more)
