With Wall Street, Oliver Stone delivers a blunt but effective -- and thoroughly well-acted -- jeremiad against its era's veneration of greed as a means to its own end. Read critic reviews

"Greed is good." Oliver Stone's hard hitting drama Wall Street is a smart and compelling film about corporate America. The story follows a broker who gets a chance to work for leading Wall Street investor Gordon Gekko, but in order to keep his job he resorts to insider trading. The cast is led by Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, and Daryl Hannah, but it's Douglas's performance that steals the show. Some of the writing's pretty good, but the plot gets confusing at times. Still, Stone's directing is quite effective at capturing the volatility and erratic nature of the stock market, and its effects. Wall Street is a provocative thriller, but there's some weak storytelling.

The ultimate eighties movie that serves as a reminder of the potential abuses of capitalism and how the draw of profit brings out the worst in humanity.

The dialogue is sometimes hard to follow, but the film perseveres through it. Douglas is great in his role.

With Michael Douglas in a superb and unforgettable performance as the voracious shark Gordon Gekko, this is an excellent film that relies on an elegant dialogue to tell us a fascinating story about man's greedy desire to score more and more in the stock market game of power.
