r96 s 'Wall Street' makes for an interesting watch, anything to do with the titular financial market is total gobbledygook to me but even I was fairly hooked throughout. The performances of Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen are top notch, so no surprise it turns out to be very good. I would say that the pacing is not the best, it probably overstays its welcome a bit, though to be honest that's the only thing I have to list under negatives and it's not even a big one. The relatively more energetic ending does do a fair bit to quell any serious run time issues. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Blu B A Classic Drama. The acting by Father & Son, and Douglas is amazing with really good dialouge. Douglas is the best thing in this and everyone else is really good. He does a great job emboding the greed, excess, and Go-Go Era as an amazing villian. Really great supporting cast as well including Holbrook who is great as always. Wish he was in it more. Everything else is really well done across the board. This does such a great job capturing a time in business unlike any other. The setting is really memorable. It also does a great job serving as a critique on Wall Street vs. Main Street without being to on the nose. Stone deserves credit for the really strong direction but never being to heavyhanded with the messanging. Where the problems are here are a few minor issues. First the first half is the stronger half as the script is sharper and faster paced. Once he becomes in with Gecko it feels like a couple of different subplots like the romance, the father/son relationship, him doing Geckos work all start to diverge and it becomes a bit muddled. It does wrap up very well but it is a bit predictable if you've seenany drama before. Especially a business related one. Second, this kind assumes you know something about how stocks/business works and if you don't the buying/selling and business lingo can be a bit over your head. For better or for worse this doesn't really explain that but you can get the idea in general when something is good/bad for a character thanks to the great acting and story. If your a fan of dramas, any actors in this, Stone, or if you want a look into the era of Barbarians at the Gate than check this out.
