WALL STREET: Money Never Sleeps

Movie: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 2 Hrs. 13 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie and we both loved it. I had seen the first Wall Street movie and did not care for it so wasn't optimistic about this one. I am glad I was wrong. Wall Street trading seems to be an addiction with some people, much like casinos are an addiction with others. Unfortunately, the Wall Street guys can get very carried away spending our money and not always investing it wisely. They take a lot more chances than I would take. Michael Douglas plays Gordon Gekko who is just getting out of prison from doing some illegal inside trading, which I have to admit, I do not understand. Josh Brolin plays another crooked guy on Wall Street. Michael Douglas' daughter is played by Carey Mulligan, who is estranged from her Father and wants nothing to do with him or his money. Her fiance is played by Shia LeBeouf, who is as caught up in the thrill of Wall Street as her Father. I don't want to tell you what happens and ruin it for you so I'll just add that it is a great story with great acting.
