I do enjoy watching this flick. I agree Daryl Hannah does a poor job of acting and Charlie Sheen somewhat better but not brilliant. I cringed for him in a couple spots. Works for the movie though. The story really does give insite as to what goes on at that level. I love the New York vibe also. Sean Young plays a truly disgusting character but totally realistic unfortunately. Michael Douglas is excellent. Definitely worth a watch.

Twenty-seven years later, this film still speaks volumes. It's even more of a cautionary tale after the economic meltdown of 2008. Beautifully acted, smartly written and directed, riveting. And it has heart! Greed may not be good, but Wall Street sure is!

Good movie. Charlie Sheen reminds me of Tom Cruise. Sheen is not a great actor. Got in the business on his name. Darryl Hannah is a hideous actress and I bet she also got in because of connections. The whole Wall Street thing is depressing and disgusting and today things are worse than ever in terms of corruption.
