Review: Gordon Gekko. The personification of the 80's moneygreed. I know I really dug the original movie from 1987 when it came out. i especially liked Michael Douglas portrayal of Mr. Gekko. I saw it again a few weeks back and it was still ok. So now I had to sit down to watch the sequal Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Michael Douglas is back and so is the director Oliver Stone. Amongst the other cast we see names such as Shia LeBeouf, Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan and personal favourite Frank Langella. All in all a way better cast than the one on the original movie. So how was the film then? Well, it was well worth watching, mostly because of Michael Douglas, but it never really comes up to the same level as the movie from 1987. The world that they are describing is no longer cool and unreachable, but more of fastpaced movie as all others nowadays. Still good though.
