DIRECTED BY: OLIVER STONE
STARRING: MICHAEL DOUGLAS, SHIA LaBeouf
Wall Street-money never sleeps is a sequel to 1987 movie Wall Street directed by Oliver Stone. It brings back the famous character of Gordon Gekko(Michael Douglas) back on the screen where he comes out of jail after 8 years. Gekko’s daughter lives with his boyfriend Jacob (Shia LaBeouf) who is working for Keller Zabel-an investment bank.
It’s the story of an old Dog (Mr.Gekko) who wants to be back on the street but there is no direct way for him to enter and fortunately his daughter’s boyfriend (Jacob) comes to him as he needed to find who destroyed Keller Zabel and in return he promises Gekko that he will reunite him with his daughter, but Mr.gekko has some other plans. He had $100million in his daughter’s name in Switzerland’s bank which he gets by stealing from his daughter’s bank a/c and starts a financial company in London. Jacob feels betrayed and approaches Gekko but nothing turns positive for him. Jacob writes full story of how Churchill Schwartz destroyed Keller Zebel and at the end everything turns positive ,gekko returns to his daughter and asks for apology and Jacob also gets reunited will her.
This movie frankly has nothing special. A sequel which came after 22 years has nothing to offer-a total disappointment. Seems like Oliver Stone wanted to cash out the brand name of original movie but he failed. Story has more of family drama than hard core Wall Street drama which we experienced in original one. Nothing great about direction of oliver ,just average. Mr.Gekko (Douglas) didn’t shine like the original one which won him Oscar for that role. Shia was also average. All in all an average movie, instead I would like to recommend watching the 1987 wall street but not this.
RATING: 5 OUT OF 10
