Review of Wall Street (1987) by Stefano C — 17 Jul 2010
Oliver Stone's classic is the epitome of 80s culture and mindset. The film is about greed at all costs. Charlie Sheen is great as a young stock broker who is looking to move up in the world by doing anything that is necessary.
There are also great supporting jobs by Martin Sheen as Charlie's father and Terrence Stamp as a business rival. The real star of the movie though is Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko, a guy who will do anything for more money.
Douglas does an absolute superb job and steals every moment he is on screen. The tag line for this movie should really be a question that Charlie Sheen asks Gekko "When is it enough?" That is the real message of this movie.
