Review of Wall Street (1987) by Timothy M — 07 Sep 2010
A film that surprisingly gets better with each viewing. Charlie Sheen is probably inadequate, and Darryl Hannah is a man, but the rest of the cast is pretty damn good. This is Michael Douglas' most iconic role for a reason - he's great.
It's also one of my favourite performances from Martin Sheen. This was before Oliver Stone began totally cutting loose stylistically, but you can see he's heading in that direction. The real strength of the film is the script - it unfolds in an economic and effective way.
And manages to say something. Great score from Stewart Copeland, too.
