I found the movie 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' to be a well remake of the 1987 film 'Wall Street' and really go into the credentials of stock market; and the way it works. During the movie I had several moments where I thought; This really happens? There's never any proof, but sometimes there doesn't have to be, as the numbers speak for themselves. The stock market makes and breaks lives every single day- a gambler's game if you will; filled with deceit, percents, quotes and the art of inside fraud manipulation. The destruction aspect is very real life, because losing stock has the ability to change everything. I know this from personal experience as it has happened to someone I know.
The movie is set in New York City; Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) is finally released after eight years in prison for supposed illegal inside trading. He wastes no time in making a plan to get right back to the top-with an added bonus of revenge for the guy who put him in prison in the first place. Using Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) as his lackey. Things however are not all they seem on the surface.
Throughout the movie, Gekko keeps making references that the viewer may or may not understand, which veils his character in an even deeper mystery. There aren't many plot twists but there is one at the end that gave me great respect for Gordon Gekko. I do recommend seeing this movie, the cast was flawless; and the movie itself delivers a powerful performance.
