"You stop telling lies about me, I will stop telling truth bout you..." First and foremost, I would like to admire the patience of stone for keeping this sequel at hold for 23 years. Have to say it was a judicious decision! In 1987 Stone released his first edition of Wall Street, when the world was undergoing huge economic crisis. He revealed the inside stories of stock markets as well as Stock Brokers. Michael Douglas or better known as Gordon Gekko (an unethical investor) who said in the first part "Greed is Good", is back with same character but this time with the question "Is greed good?"

Stones first version inspired people to become Gekko and the outcome was 2008 recession. To discover the actual cause and consequences of this crisis, Oliver Stone revives Gekko in his 2010 edition Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

In this one we see Gekko being released after completing 8 years of imprisonment and stepping into the world once again in 2008. He has lost almost everything; his family, wealth, assets but still is having a huge fan following even in the new era. Gekko becomes a mentor for Jacob Moore (Shia LaBeouf) an extremely well-established broker who lives with Winnie (Carey Mulligan); Gekko's daughter. Jake is portrayed as young, dynamic and greedy investor who is presently endeavoring to earn wealth by investing in green energy. Owing to Gekko's sharp sense and years of experience he was able to smell the upcoming threat of downturn. He tries ringing the warning bells in the ears of Wall Street but due his past criminal records nobody listens to him.

You will even find Gekko trying to re-build his relationship with his daughter Winnie, who always blamed him for her brothers suicide. "The scene where Gekko beg in front of Winnie for a second chance as a father is shot beautifully. It will get etched in your mind."

To my surprise Gordon Gekko was not the main focus of this edition. This one is more of compelling drama of muddled relationships and corporate downsizing. The way Oliver Stone monitored every move minutely and then got it on screen deserves a big thumps up. To support his effort we have the team of great actors giving outstanding performances. The only place where the movie falls apart is its climax, which was under-developed according to me. Due to that the viewers will definitely lose interest and will find the movie unfinished.

You will get to discover the importance of renewable energy, the consequences of blindly running behind money, the complexities of broken relationships, reasons behind Global Financial Crisis and off course the role of media in our lives.

Final Verdict: Good watch especially for corporate world and others should only go for some power-packed performances as well as great background score.

Director Oliver Stones follow-up to his gritty 1987 critical and commercial hit, 'Wall Street' is quite a fascinating beast to behold albeit only in parts. Overall it lacks the same vicious bite that the original had when creating a bridge between audiences and a financial world that was being stripped of its glamor before them for them to behold it in all its naked ugliness. In current times however, the world is well aware of this ugliness thanks to an overzealous media and somehow even the recent scams when exposed onscreen hold little in terms of shock-value. The one thing that works very well in the movies favor is the human factor.

The players behind the scenes and individual characters give such convincing performances that you'd rarely doubt their intentions or psyche. Not to say that this movies some sort of documentary about the 2008 global stock-market meltdown but it tries hard to dramatize the events while juggling plenty of sub-plots and themes at the same time.

The plot kicks off in the year 2001 where Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is released from prison. It then jumps to the year 2008 where Jake (Shia LaBeouf), a young banker in an old firm headed by Louis Zabel (Frank Langella) is an up & rising star. Hes blissfully unaware of the looming financial meltdown about to hit American markets first and then the rest of the world. When it does begin, Louis's firm is the first to get hit and he takes it pretty hard. Jake tries to extract revenge from a rival, Bretton James (Josh Brolin), whom he believes to be responsible for it all. Jake's also in a live-in relationship with Gekko's estranged daughter Winnie (Carey Mulligan). How Jake goes about trying to extract revenge from Bretton with help from Gordon while at the same time trying to mend bridges between Gordon and his daughter forms the crux of the tale.

The first half of the movies especially loaded with technical jargon that most of the time ended up flying right over my head. However Gordon Gekko's lecture was quite the opposite and other than being enjoyable was also immensely entertaining. Like I mentioned before, the frailties in us as human beings and our constant desire for more is again the most fascinating aspect of the tale. The ability of people and institutions to take action without thought to repercussions and consequences is in form an eye-opener and a warning to not allow something like this to happen again. Yet we are all so mixed with the system that its difficult to pull ourselves out. The movie might be morally very judgmental and not very subtle but Oliver Stone like always drives home his point about greed perfectly.

The acting by the entire cast is simply flawless. Michael Douglas is still the charming yet immensely cunning Gordon Gekko we saw 23 years ago. Some of his lines are simply to die for, especially a line about 'bulls, bears and pigs', even though picked from someone else, is still is assured to put a wicked smile on you face. Eli Wallach similarly has a priceless little monologue about the impending financial meltdown and how everything would be affected.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps has good intentions and an ambitious plot that works brilliantly in parts. The acting & characterizations make up for the unfocused narrative and loose plot-threads left in the weak climax. Though it doesn't touch the lofty heights of the original it still manages to stand firm on its own strength.

Gordon might say Greed is good, I'd say Oliver Stone makes it look ugly like never before.

Michael Douglas and Oliver Stone is back with the sequel to their 1987 hit- Wall Street. Douglas re-enacts the role of a Stock Market Guru, immortalized by him in the prequel. Though for some, he himself is enough a reason to watch a film; still the story, screenplay and support star-cast plays a huge role in deciding the fate of a movie. Since the terms like stocks, shares, investments, bankruptcy etc were used in full frontal for the original version, it remains to see what new is in store for the cinema-goers this time around, just after cash crunch situation aka 'Recession'.

Wall Street-2 kicks off with Michael Douglas being released from the jail, with few unfinished business in his mind. Director Oliver Stone and Douglas manages to take their joint-mantra "Greed is Good" to a completely different level with an another winner- "Money never sleeps". Even in his age and ongoing ordeal, ailing Douglas is like a fresh breath of air; you might love every bit of it, whenever he is in the frame. Younger duo of Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan does complete justice to their respective job. Josh Brolin was decent, Eli Wallach unusually funny and Frank Langella terrific in miniscule role.

The story needed few more polish-coatings and screenplay, couple of proof readings. The length of the movie and slow pace are few of the other drawbacks. If the romantic liaisons of the lead couple were cute, then father-daughter's love-hate relationship -was heart-warming. Oliver Stone pumps oxygen into intermittent-lifeless script with his finest craftsmanship; Bollywood-sque emotional climax could have been avoided, though.

Maverick Verdict: Wall Street- Money Never Sleeps could be watched for Michael Douglas and his immaculate one-liners. If you are not too accustomed to the functioning of Stock-market and Businesses, then understanding the proceedings might be bit difficult. Inspite of that, a tryst with 'Gekko' deserves a 'Dekko'. May God help this talented veteran to recover from deadly disease and let him STAY IN PEACE!!! view less

"Insanity is when you do the same mistake again and again" says Shia LaBeouf's voice over. Money Never sleeps is a rare sequel that has come up 23 years later. The original Wall Street released in 1987 and earned Michael Douglas an academy award. The movie is based on the 2008 global economic meltdown and starts of really well. It loses some steam mid way though and ends in a tad disappointing way.

The plot primarily revolves around its two main characters. Gordon Gekko (Douglas) has been released from jail and is now the author of a novel on human greed for money. Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) plays a young smart trader with the same ambitious gleam in his eyes to become rich akin to that of Gekko. Jake is about to marry his girl friend who happens to be Gekkos daughter. When the economic turmoil of 2008 hits the markets, Jake's mentor at Keller-Zabel commits suicide. Jake blames his rival Bretton James (Josh Brolin) as the one to spread the rumors of Keller-Zabel's failures and making those rumors come true. In seeking his vengance he runs into Gekko and decides to take down Bretton James and his company with Gekko's advice. But theres a twist in the tale.

Performance wise Michael Douglas pulls off Gordon Gekko with ease. The role suited him like a glove. Shia LaBeouf was a surprise. He looked mature and believable in the movie. One of his finest performances for sure. Josh Brolin was a good villain. Carey Mulligan had the same crying face for the whole movie. She also must have shed a bucketfull of tears. Oliver Stone does a good job in captaining the ship to begin with but the movie falls away in the second half.

Overall the movie has some fine performances but at the same time it would not harm you if you catch it on DVD.

Rating: Wait for the DVD unless you are a Douglas fan. view less

Internal bias: I go into a zombie zone when I see or hear anything with numbers in it. Finance turns me off.

Jake, the young idealistic trader asks Bretton James, the man who he thinks drove his boss and mentor Louis Zabel to suicide by abetting in his bank collapse, What is your number? The one that will make you walk away from it all? And Bretton replies More.

This sums up the greed that drives the worlds financial markets which led to the great financial crises of 2008 against which this movie is set. The movie begins with Gordon Gekko getting out of jail after spending 8 years for insider trading and manipulation of markets-a personless crime according to him which did not merit that magnitude of punishment. He has written a book while in prison on whether greed is actually good as he had proclaimed in his earlier avatar as a hot shot equity trader. His premise in the book is that the financial world is set for a melt down because of excess greed. He explains this theory in a brilliant lecture which is a good crash course on the 2008 crises for those like me. The story is centered around Jake(Shia le Boeuf) who also happens to be Gekkos daughter Winnies fianc.

The movie is not sure what story it wants to tell the one on Gekkos return to the markets, his relationship with his daughter, the financial crises or a love story. There is a little bit of all of these but they dont get braided into a nice tight well oiled plait which should gleam and sway when the movie moves. There are bits that sag and go slow and that made the movie feel longer than its two hours. But then maybe that was because of the financial stuff being bandied around that I am sure bankers and finance types will find interesting. (The theater was full of those).

The screen play is crackling with one liners sprinkled throughout the movie. Shia le Bouef as the young idealistic trader looks the part and he and Carey Mulligan make a sweet couple. Josh Brolin as Bretton James looks the suave banker that he plays. Michael Douglas reprises his role as Gordon Gekko with relish. The slicked back hair, the sharp suits and the hard glint in his eye are intact. What he adds is a softer sentimentality of an older man and it sits on him well. He keeps us guessing till the end on his real motivations and desires for the things he does.

I just wish the movie was a bit tighter and took up any one of its threads in greater detail. Jakes character was also a bit confused as he moves from wanting revenge for the death of his mentor, to switching jobs to using his girlfriend for his own ends . But then as Gekko says, after all I am human and so are the others in the movie. I must mention , Susan Sarandon in a tiny two scene role as Jakes mother looks fabulous.

An interesting watch, one for the easy lesson on the financial crises that hit the world, two for some great action, three for the lovely shots of NY that made me want to be there and four, if you want to see how the Gordon Gekkos of the world keep coming back, only in different forms. Also watch out for the references to India. We have our place in the world financial markets, CWG notwithstanding

As the film began and Michael Douglas came into frame one thing crossed my mind that this could be the last time I will see him on the big screen. This could be his last role.

Wall Street Money Never Sleeps takes off straight with Gordon Gekko (Michael Dogulas) coming out of prison. It then tells the story of him wanting to reconcile with his daughter (Carey Mulligan) and also about his future son in law ( Shia LaBouf) teaming up with him to find out the reason behind the suicide of Shia Labeoufs mentor ( Frank Langela) also exploring and commenting on the financial crisis of 2008. But its not as simple as it looks.

The film stands out for the way Oliver Stone treats the screenplay. He makes it a visual spectacle even though the film with its subject and with another director could have turned out into an intimate dramatic film. And also how beautifully he brings in music at certain points of the film without making it sound jarring or out of place. An album download of this film is a must. He hides the blemishes of the screenplay with his visual flair. The screenplay starts off well but it falters in the middle because of too much time being spent on the father daughter reconciliation track. It also lacks solid drama. What also works against it is the length. At 2hrs 15 mins the film is stretched and because of a weak middle the length starts irritating. Writers Allan Loeb ( who has written 21) & Stephen Schiff ( writer of Lolita) fail to tie up the multiple tracks they expose in the set up ( beginning) . Their resolution (Climax) also comes across very convenient, almost playing to the gallery. Noteworthy is the mention of India in two scenes one of which is when Frank Langela says Iam talking to some guy in Mumbai, Tumbai. Dont know what he is selling me. Wonder what inspired that line. Even after 23 years Michael Douglas plays the same character with remarkable ease. Shia Lebouf brings in a certain vulnerability to the character he plays. This is the first film in which I have noticed Carey Mulligan and she come across as a fine actor. Her performance makes me wanna watch the long awaited An Education.

Final Few Words: watch it coz this might be the last time you see Michael Douglas on the big screen and also for the great talent called Oliver Stone.

Rating : *** ( Good)

Ticket Meter : 250/- ( worth it just for Oliver Stone & Rodrigo Preito)

For the generation that has seen the God of Financial Evil in his full glory, the return of Gordon Gekko has been a long yearning dream, a desire to relive the moments, with the man, who made principles seem useless, who made a life of debauchery come across as cool, who made people actually believe GREED IS GOOD. So when one heard that Oliver Stone and Michael Douglas were teaming up, one did believe and wait in hope to see how it played out. How does Mr. Gekko live today, how does he react to the financial jugglery of the recession era, wherein the flair for stretch limos has given way to GulfStreams. Where the cell phone that he once used to flash stylishly and make his deals, has now become a medium for listening to music, chat with friends and find the route to your favourite store! But as I realized the hard way, and like a friend shared with me, this movie has to be seen as it is, a stand alone movie, the more comparisons one makes with the original, the more chances that you will leave the theatre disappointed.
Gekko has been released from prison, and is now greeted with the fruits of the seeds that he had sown years ago, bankruptcy, loneliness, anonymity. The cell phone that is handed over to him upon his release, as part of his personal items, reflects the Jurassic era that he used to represent.
Cut to 2008, Gekko is the author of a best selling book, Is Greed Good? somewhat the impending doom in American financial system. In one of his lectures, God meets his soon to be new protg, Mr. Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) who wants Gekko to teach him the manipulations of the financial system. The motivation for Moore, unlike Bud Fox, is not to make money, but to get even with the devil incarnate, in other words, an investment banker, Bretton James (Josh Brolin), whom he holds responsible for the Bear Sterns styled death of the firm, Keller Zebel and in turn leading to the suicide of his mentor, Lewis Zabel (Frank Langella). One more of the many contrivances of the script is that Moore is dating Winnie, Gekkos estranged daughter (Carrie Mulligan), who avoids her father like the bubonic plague and keeps warning Jake of the consequences of dealing with her father.
Where Money Never Sleeps lacks, is in its loose scripting (Stephen Schiff) and screenplay (Allan Loeb). Something Oliver Stone should have focused more on, rather than the style, spunk and spitzah around Gekkos homecoming. Although the timing of the film is perfect, few years ago, no one would have considered such a subject to appeal to anyone. Today, its a reality with many conspiracy theories around it.
Frank Langella, Eli Wallach are competent in their cameos. Mulligan is fine, not a role meant for her, could have been played by anyone. Shia LaBeouf, although good, is still not going to get away without being compared to Bud Fox, where he fails. Reason being, its not his teenage looks, but one could relate to Bud Fox as he was on a mission which millions of us believe in. Compared to Fox, Moores green environment crusade seems pale. Also, there is not much screenplay given for Moore to show his pain on the loss of his mentor.
Charlie Sheen in a cameo, is cute, but could have been utilized better, as one of the advisors from Winnies side, perhaps, who advise Moore not to stay in the same precinct as Gekko.
Josh Brolin as Bretton James is fantastic. You earn for more screen time between him and Gekko as these are the only 2 characters on screen who are doing what they are due to their single minded belief and passion (besides they seem to be the only ones Stone seems to have spent his time on in developing). Considering the fact that Javier Bardem was to play this role, even he would have done his image a favour. But not to take it away from Brolin, he is one of the finest actors in that age bracket right now, with a bucketful of fantastic performances but one step away from that block buster.
That brings me back to the favourite wall street broker, loved by everyone. Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko. Michael Douglas returns as an older, possibly mellower Gekko, but one with the same confident smile, the arrogant assurance, and lethal charm, played with a pleasure that makes the character incorrigible but infinitely fascinating. With less time in hand a need to reconcile with Winnie. The situation plays upon you, drawing you in with the belief that this is a man whose greatest pleasure isnt money, its winning.
Stone seems to be in control of the film in terms of stock shots. Be it the split screens, frenetic stop motions scenes or the scene of bubbles, floating through the air, symbolizing the era of early 2008. Stone reinforces it all with his startlingly effective use of imagery that is impossible to resist.
What one likes, if one manages to spot, is the playful mood of Stone throughout the film. Like the photo of Kirk Douglas gracing a wall behind Michael as he is being fitted for a suit. A Warhol of Jackie Kennedy graces another. Stone himself makes a cameo admiring a ribald piece of air-inflated art. Not to forget the tribute to Wallach, in the form of Jake's ring tone, the theme for "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." Although funny and having the Stone touch, it is difficult to believe that a character like Jake would ever have that as his ring tone due to his oblivion from pop culture. A sweet tribute to Wallach, for playing The BAD in the film.
Oliver Stone is known for taking the subject and throwing it in your face, with harsh brutality, (even the dud Alexander, was brutal). Money Never Sleeps, somehow, fails to get the message across with regards to the events leading to the global financial crisis. There were many subplots which needed to be highlighted for the audiences wanted to have it all. Somehow, all that it has to offer, are a couple of lame scenes where the big banks get together and discuss a bail out policy with the U.S. treasury, losing an opportunity for a far real, gritty drama. The fact that the writers chose to go in for a more safer commercial option for things around is evident with the end, unsatisfying completely.
But the primary pleasure remains Douglas' performance, even if this Gekko is wiser, sadder and scheming, not for a deal, but redemption. As a standalone film, it is good, but as a sequel to Wall Street, it fails.

Does it have THE Y FACTOR:NO (because even though one tries hard, one cannot separate it from the original.)
Rating :5/10

Shouldnt the Wall Street sequel be larger than life? Shouldnt it involve more drama and spectacle than before? Where is the ruthlessness money making game of the original? Do we really care about social drama and family problems on Wall Street?
Oliver Stones return to the financial hub of the Big Apple does have its moments, but perhaps being overshadowed by its delectable original, still leaves you pining for more.

Michael Douglas (maybe in his last role ever) reprises his Academy Award-winning role of Gordon Gekko, a corporate debonair and player at Wall Street. Except this time, its years later, and hes just been released from prison. Seven years hence, hes almost back in the game with his book, Is Greed Good?, with a changed perception of life and money. Life comes full circle when he meets young stockbroker Jacob Moore (LaBeouf), who is engaged to Gekkos daughter Winnie (Mulligan). Together, they make a deal quite similar to the original Wall Street. Gekko will help Moore to avenge the death of his mentor, while Moore will attempt to get the estranged father-daughter together again. Add to that, the 2008 financial crisis and the advent of modern technology.

Its a great look into the current economic state of the world, now dont get me wrong. But I wonder why is it that Stone felt it was necessary to delve into a more human side of the Wall Street machine. The strange thing about the screenplay is that the film is thoroughly enjoyable when its a deep look into the working and functioning of the investment firms. Its a delight to see them battling it out for supremacy. And still, its also fun to watch Moore and Winnie in their upscale New York apartment and yuppie life. Sadly, a good balance hasnt been achieved between the two. Furthermore, it seems like more of a general overview of what happens, with ambitious first-timers embroiled in controversy taking a back seat.
Like the original, a layman like me may have issues in understanding a lot of talk, due to the plethora of technical jargon thrown at you. (Thankfully I had my dad with me, who explained most of it). If youre a financial junkie, then great. But if youve never even bothered opening the financial news channel or the page in the newspaper, better take someone along who can be your wiki or better just get past that, and not think at all.

Having said that, the films strong points still overshadow its shortcomings thanks to some great acting, and some of the best dialogues you may have heard in recent Hollywood history. Douglas manages to make a charismatic return to the original Gekko. Sure, hes not as brutal as he was, and becomes more of a supporting hero than a villain, but its a treat to watch him nonetheless. He shines in the emotional scenes (especially the so-called-reconciliation with Winnie) and is more than perfect as the quintessential greedy Gekko. LaBeouf is impressive as the core of the film. Hes definitely more likeable than Charlie Sheen thanks to his identifiable ideals, and the fact that he down-plays that hes such a goody-goody after all. Mulligan once again impresses after An Education, and she and LaBeouf have immense chemistry. Langella and Brolin are great in their roles as mentors.
The dialogues are contemporary, hard-hitting, extremely witty, and lashed out in the most appealing style. Most of the monologues, especially those by Douglas and Wallach are extremely well thought out.
The cinematography is glossy, and New York has never looked more beautiful and inviting (neither has Wall Street). The editing is well done, and the background score is beautifully apt.

If you can get past the disappointment of the lack of drama and controversy involved in this one, then watch it for its style-over-substance outlook and because its a long-awaited sequel of a award-winning masterpiece.

The return of Gordon Gekko, definitely deserves one dekko!

Opening Bell : Bees Saal BaadOscar Winner Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is back from jail....and this time with awe-inspiring performance and dialogues.

Jake Moores (Shia LaBeouf) life is ravaged when his mentor and his investment banking company collapses. Jake believes Bretton James (Josh Brolin) is instrumental in this fall, he tries to take revenge.

It is revealed that Jake is dating Gekkos daughter. Gekkos daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan) hasnt spoken to Gekko since long as she blames Gekko for her brothers death. Jake attends Gekkos lecture where hes promoting his book Is Greed Good. Gekkos warns of an impending economic downturn but no-ne pays heed.

Jake looks upto Gekko for his help in bringing James down, in turn he offers Gekko patch-up with Winnie. What follows is an interesting twists and turns of events , the movie moves like the manhattan skyline and the bse sensex. Wall Street has its moments of tears and laughter, innovative direction style and superlative treatment.

Shia LaBeouf is not the best of the actors to have played the role of Jake Moore, but that made up by radiant performances by Josh & Michael. Wall street has subtle references to the original movie and surprise visit by Charlie Sheen (Bud Fox)

Closing Bell : This sequel is definitely worth the wait.

Oliver Stone revived a story after 23 years. Unfortunately I did not watch the preceding film, produced at 1987, and it makes a bit tough for me to form a comparative study of the both. However, that does not diminish my interest about this film at all. The story was quite discernible still.
Now I am starting this review with a different perspective. What does this sequel after 23 years immediately impress upon us? As we know the sequel often demands a strong concept and concrete dramatic effect as a spontaneous comparison arises with the previous film. Should we take it for granted the director was nurturing his idea of another film in these years? Or does it occur to his mind suddenly after 2008 financial crisis of Newyork? It makes my view more interesting actually. Notice the every moment of the movie therefore. How the Oliver Stone is projecting a multi-packed character Gekko (Michael Douglas), his relationship with Winnie (Carrey Mulligan) and the reconciliation episode. The issue of stock market crisis and its eventual consequents plays a parallel important role in this movie.
The three most striking features of this movie are- the screenplay by Bryan Burrough, Allan Loeb and Stephen Schiff, excellent performance by Michael Douglas and good direction of Oliver Stone. Michael Douglass portrayal of Gekko needs no word for praise. It is quite naturally rendered and the conflict and prudence are easy to distinguish from his expression. Sheal LaBeouf as Jacob Moore also did a nice job.
Music is outstanding in this movie. A strong background score manages the loopholes of the plot and makes it a compact one. Cinematography and others are also fine.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is recommended for a watch. Discover Mr. Douglas in a new light again and get awestruck by the character-construction of this movie.
