a compelling drama that is exceedingly well acted (with the obvious exception of the wretched Daryl Hannah)
10/02/07
A big, glossy movie that satirises the whole yuppie ethos more than anything else.
09/18/07
The sensibility of this movie is so adolescent that it's hard to take it as seriously as the filmmakers intend us to.

Top Critic
Writer-director Oliver Stone, who shows an uncanny knack for anticipating public interest in the subjects he chooses, explores the much-publicized inside trading scandals of the mid-1980s.
09/18/07
Watching Oliver Stone's Wall Street is about as wordy and dreary as reading the financial papers accounts of the rise and fall of an Ivan Boesky-type arbitrageur.

Top Critic
Stone's attack on the excesses of the Me Decade could easily be dubbed Mr. Smith Goes to Wall Street.
09/15/07
Though it's set in urban New York, the jungle in this morality tale is similar to the one in Stone's former film, Platoon: In both, Charlie Sheen plays a youth torn between two father figures representing Good (Martin Sheen) and Evil (Michael Douglas)
04/06/07
If it's possible to have dialogue that's too stunning for the film's own good, that's the case with "Wall Street."
03/04/07
Wall Street is Stone's snarling condemnation of the Go-Go junk bond king buy 'em, break 'em, and sell off the parts '80s.
