Review of Quicksilver (1986) by Ms Amanda J — 05 Dec 2010
After a meteoric rise on wall street a stockbroker loses it all including his confidence. he becomes a bike messenger and learns some lessons about life.
This is such an 80s movie - cheesy music, silly montages that add nothing to the plot and a belief that somehow watching people buy and sell on wall street is interesting on film (think: "trading places" - did you really understand what was going on in the stock market scene at the end?) but it wasn't a terrible movie.
Another strange thing about this movie is the geographic inaccuracies. the story is supposed to take place in manhattan but some scenes are obviously san francisco and others LA.
