Amazon Review By Lon January 30, 2015
After seeing The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) I decided to watch the original film about the Wall Street from 1987, the same year the New York stock market crashed. The Wall Street, starting Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen, compared to The Wolf of Wall Street is much more PG and very much 80's movie. I think, Michael Douglas stole the show in this one from under Charlie Sheen, who happens to be the main character in the movie. Charlie Sheen is Bud Fox, and an up and coming young and ambitious broker working for some company, yet he is eager to go the extra mile, eve if it means breaking the law, in order to be at the top of the food chain. That is when Gordon Gekko comes in (Michael Douglas) a big shark in the nyc corporate world. The script is really well written and acting is tight, the ending to the movie just about perfect. Interesting soundtrack, especially the title song from 80's Canadian band Talking Heads, which can also be found in the movie Lars and The Real Girl (2007).

The speech about greed and American way of life given by Douglas at the share holder's meeting is one of the best short speeches I have heard and seen on the silver screen. Michael's character is what makes this movie.

Oliver Stone directed this film right after finishing The Platoon (1986) both of which films happen to be his best works.
