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.

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.

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!
