Movie #318 "Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps" is a good sequel, and very instructive on what has been happening to our economy. And the movie has a capable cast, from Frank Langella, to Michael Douglas, To Shia LaBeouf to Carey Mulligan! Well done! Very tense drama that has some surprising moments that work. Good tight script. I just wished they would have watered down the economic discussions a tad more for people like me who don't seem to get all the intricasies. I recommend this, even if you haven't seen the first one. And Oliver Stone films are usually interesting to watch; he keeps the camera moviing, that's for sure!
Average rating: 3.494
I give it 3.7
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
(2010) NR
Trader Jake (Shia LaBeouf) tries to mend the broken relationship between his fiancée, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), and her father, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), while avenging the fate of his mentor, Lou (Frank Langella), by getting close to Wall Street's new megalomaniac, Bretton James (Josh Brolin). Centered on the 2008 financial crisis, director Oliver Stone's follow-up is a modern-day ode to unfettered capitalism and, of course, greed.
