Review of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) by Loy M — 20 Jul 2013
If you watched the 1987 Movie Edition of Wall Street, then this would be a movie on your 'to-watch' list. The reason being it picks up from where it left off. Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) continues his flamboyant insensitive thirst for power but this time with class and candor, while Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan try to match up with their best - though their performances fall incredibly flat. Frank Langella, Josh Brolin and surprise, surprise Susan Sarandon add value and flavor to their respective roles (though I honestly wonder what made Susan Sarandon take the role of a Money obsessed fortune hunting mother).
Moment of Truth.
Though the Support Cast was great and Michael Douglas's Character was mesmerizing, A Weak Script, Bad Casting (Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan) and anti-climatic ending didn't do the movie any favors.
Overall - the only reason you should watch it is only if you want to have a closure knowing you watched part 1.
Ratings - 4 out of 10.
