Review of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) by Jamesl — 02 Oct 2010
This film is another step backwards for Oliver Stone. It seemed like he was trying to tell two stories but did not succeed with either. One was the return and redemption of Gordon Gecko while the other was the systematic system of Wall Street that led to the 2008 collapse.
The scenes with the Federal Reserve and Hank Paulson figure were vintage Stone except he failed to follow through. The old Stone would have weaved a tapestry of tension, deception, and intrigue of the corruption with Gecko as our eyes.
Instead he inserted this lame love story and tale of family redemption that was rather unexciting. Stone captured more views of the New York skyline than he did of Wall Street..
