RELEASE: 2010; GENERE: Drama; RUN-TIME: 2 hrs, 13 mins; RATED: PG; STARRING: Michael Douglas; DIRECTED BY: Oliver Stone;
REVIEW: In this sequel to Wall Street, again staring Michael Douglas, he now returns as an older Gordon Gekko with the same confident smile, arrogant assurance and lethal charm that makes for once again, an infinitely fascinating and repugnant character that truly makes the movie. We both like Michael Douglas and it was good to see him back in the role that won him an Oscar. Except for his release from prison he was missing during the first 30 minutes, and even then only seemed to have sporadic appearances throughout. Though it is nowhere near as edgy as the original and may not be a totally accurate presentation on how Wall Street does business, it's still entertaining because of the individual performances of Douglas, Brolin, and Culligan. From a pure entertainment standpoint, we have to give it [3-Stars].
SYNOPSIS: As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, a young Wall Street trader partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gordon Gekko on a two-tiered mission: To alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader's mentor.
