Wall Street

[1987, Movie]

Wall Street: Review

For a while there, Oliver Stone had an uncanny knack for predicting cultural trends and public events and made intriguingly sensational films about them; here he explores the insider trading scandals that rocked Wall Street during the mid-1980s. Charles Sheen is surprisingly good as a frighteningly ambitious young broker. Even better is Michael Douglas as his amoral mentor, a corporate raider whose motto could stand as a koan for that entire decade: "Greed is good." Read the complete review for Wall Street
