It is worth the effort

Went to this movie eager with anticiaption. Left extremely disappointed. My biggest issue was all the holes in the script. And easy oversights. Example - everytime the movie would cut to CNBC for a market update, the market was always down the same 241 points, regardless of day or circumstance. Fast paced action and wild gyrations - all yielding the same result - scene after scene. Another example? Gekko runs into his old friend Bud Fox at a charity event. Now keep in mind, Gordo spent 8 years in the can. He admits he watched a lot of financial news TV while cooling his heels over that time. Yet when he runs into Bud, he had no knowledge of the ultimate fate of Blue Star Airline. Isn't that kind of improbable?? There were many other mistakes and inconsistancies throughout the film. You would think someone would be assigned to watch for such things.

Excellent movie but you need to know something about the stockmarket. A must see!

What a heavy-handed piece of garbage. Over-actor Shia LaDouche shines again and keeps using up his 15-minutes of fame over-and-over-and-over. When will producers realize that Shia is more of a distractive over-actor than a method actor. Predictable story outcomes and shoved-down-your-throat social messaging play along side of ethnic stereotyping of Chinese and Jews. Do something more constructive with your time rather than watching this movie like cleaning out the lint from your belly-button or perhaps bleaching your socks to a high-white color.
