In Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Michael Douglas returns to his iconic role as Gordon Gekko and proves that he still has game left in him. As a sequel, it is inferior to the first film. The first film was very good, almost a classic. But this film turned out to be somewhat of a bore even though there were many interesting moments here.
This film is about how Gordon Gekko is released from prison and wants to reconcile things with his estranged daughter. He meets her fiancé, Jacob and then he comes to realize he still has tricks up his sleeve. Then there is that Bretton James....... I think the best part of this movie though is the cameo by Charlie Sheen. I wish he had more scenes.
Michael Douglas was pretty good but he was much better in the first one. He just seemed more low key here. Josh Brolin was very good as the snake, Bretton James. Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan are also passable in their roles.
Overall, this is a somewhat interesting film. There are many boring parts here so I was a little disappointed. Maybe this film came out too soon after the market crash of 2008. Maybe that is why this film did not do great at the box office. This is a worthy film by Oliver Stone but only just. I rate this film 7/10.
