What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's more entertaining than many sequels, but with Oliver Stone directing, a terrific cast, and a timely storyline that picks up where the original left off, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps should be better.

Deborah Ross The Spectator This film misses its own story. It's a middle-brow male weepy, and no more. Money never sleeps, but you might. I can't say I didn't enjoy a little doze myself. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Jul 4, 2013 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Stone succeeds in making Money Never Sleeps part social commentary and part melodrama for a curious mix that leaves the viewer extremely satisfied. Rated: 3/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review James McMahon NME (New Musical Express) More than anything, Wall Street 2's ultimate failure is it's more likely to make the viewer crave a 'World's Greatest Dad' mug than a sports car and Daryl Hannah. A disappointment, frankly. Rated: 2.5/5 May 20, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Once again, audiences must toil over the money lingo and investment terminology of which the average person has no knowledge.

r96 s 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' falls short of its predecessor, even though it is still satisfactory. It does have issues, for example it overruns and has some ill-fitting editing. The original had top (+ better) performances but wasn't fully reliant on the cast, this is more so. It's cool to see Michael Douglas reprise his role, the same can be for that rather fan service-y moment in the middle of the film. Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin and Carey Mulligan are positive new faces and give enough, even if I've seen greater from each one of them in other productions. This 2010 sequel isn't as much about Wall Street as the first flick, which I think is a mistake. Of course there is plenty in there about it, but to me it felt much more about Gekko and his personal life - which isn't quite as interesting to watch unfold across 120+ minutes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Daniel G Still an impactful Oliver Stone movie, though I'd totally forgotten this was a sequel. Not so much about the dog-eat-dog world, but the human impact. Performances are top, in particular Shia LaBoeuf. Gordon Gekko became Michael Douglas' visiting card. However, I certainly missed some detailed aspects of the schemes involved... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Dani G One of those sequels that were not neccesary. Absolutely soul-less Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Michael W This Wall Street sequel was pretty good. Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan, Josh Brolin, Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The plot of the movie was dramatic and unexpected. It's about trying to do the right thing even if your ego gets in the way. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you might enjoy it. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review David W Though few expected it to be as good or better than the original film, I agree with other reviewers and critics who said that Wall Street Money Never Sleeps should have been better given the enormous talent in both its cast and production team. The best part of this film is the cameos by actors from the original. In rehashing the formula from 1987 too closely, it lacks originality and is nearly impossible to judge it on its own merits. I would only watch this again if there were nothing better to choose from. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review S. S Great film that definitely deserves a sequel featuring our present-day post Covid-19 financial reality. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
