It remains relevant.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2025

A great 1980s film, even if many of its fans took the wrong lesson from it (35th anniversary)

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 13, 2022

Stone's script makes towering mountains out of mysterious minutiae, confident that although we may not be able to classify the rocks, we will be able to map the terrain.

A 1980's update of Goethe's Faust, with Charlie Sheen's Bud Fox as a corporate raider wannabe Faust and Michael Douglas's Gordon Gekko a grinning, ruthless finance Mephisto. In 2022's time of greedflation, a re-watch sheds light on our current condition.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 25, 2022

It was here, really, that Douglas began his tenure as the Sin Eater of Hollywood actors, embodying the rancor and decay of the white man.

| Original Score: B | Aug 31, 2022

Wall Street retains an important place in film history mainly for the iconic role of Gordon Gekko and the performance by Douglas. Gekko’s mantra “Greed is Good” has become a wretched but standard staple in the business world.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 20, 2022

The film is an atrocious, self-righteous coven, but the public adores it with malignant complacency. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 6, 2022

Douglas steals the show as the rich guy viewers love to hate.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 8, 2020

Much is made of Douglas' superbly sleazy display here, but the heart of the film is Charlie Sheen's anchoring effort as the stock market ingenue getting a crash course in cornering other people's cash.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 2, 2020

A lavish misstep in the straight career of this filmmaker. [Full Review in Spanish]

The film benefits enormously from shrewd casting.

Oliver Stone's Wall Street is exactly what I had hoped for -- a sensationally entertaining melodrama about greed and corruption in New York, a movie that evokes the power of big money so strongly that you can savor it on your tongue like Stilton and port.

| Dec 31, 2019

Michael Douglas has a splendid part here, and tackles it with relish.

| Aug 30, 2018

The conflict may be familiar, but Stone brings the mystery of Wall Street's heros and villains, its big-stakes players and two-bit salesmen into sharp focus. It's a look that is both exhilarating and astounding.

| Oct 11, 2016

...an eye-opening behind-the-scenes glimpse at an almost alien landscape.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 8, 2010

For a motion picture that, at the time of shooting, was intended to be relatively hip and cutting-edge, it is now so laughably outdated it almost feels like science-fiction.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 23, 2010

Like the rest of Stone's oeuvre, it's about as subtle as a sledgehammer. But his filmmaking style is like heavy metal: When he hits the right chords, nobody plays with as much power or brash energy.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 20, 2010

Some of the 1980s-era details may seem a bit dated, and the movie's attitude toward women is slightly despicable, but the overall story arc, echoing the "Faust" tale, is timeless.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 16, 2010

...blustery and unsophisticated, like many of the movies of Oliver Stone.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 23, 2008

All the performances are excellent with the emotional highlights including the father/son emotional angst between Sheen and his real life father Martin Sheen.
