This movie is a bad copy of the first one. They even appeared to use the same lines, set-ups, scenes and so on. I did give him a three star rating for trying to reproduce what it might have been like to watch Goldman & Morgan survive while Bear and Lehman died. Stone correctly portrayed the scene as one involving more cronyism than business acumen.
But gads the cast was terrible! Douglas seemed totally unlike himself. Brolin was worse than ever and unbelievable as a mogul. It was sad, sick and depressing that Stone used Wallach as some whistling cadaver. And Sarandon appears why? Did Stone bring her in as a part of their Friends of Castro support group?
The ending was strange for Stone. It was too neat and tidy and happy and all cornball-like. Stone used to make good movies and then he went political and might as well work for Disney or the DNC.
