Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)



Now out of prison but still disgraced by his peers, Gordon Gekko works his future son-in-law, an idealistic stock broker, when he sees an opportunity to take down a Wall Street enemy and rebuild his empire.

Essentially, the same story all over again, but with far less panache, and the allusions to the current economic crisis don't help a bit.

Maltin **1/2: "The high-stakes power games are undeniably compelling in this slick production, which is filled with good performances (including 94-year-old Wallach). Too bad the ending is weak."
