Review of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) by Tvjerry — 02 Oct 2010
This sequel takes up 8 years after Gekko has been released from jail and the economy is going crazy. Although his influence is felt throughout, this narrative follows a driven young stockbroker (Shia LaBeouf) and his girlfriend (Carey Mulligan), who happens to be Gekko's daughter.
Navigating the financial details is a challenge, but the basics of love and revenge are pretty clearly spelled out. Director Oliver Stone is at the top of his game: rich locations, attractive cinematography, snazzy editing and uniformly rich performances.
If only the screenplay were a little less trite and filled with attempts at profundity, it would be a great film.
