Having worked "on the street"for 35 years,I never could understand where "Insider trading"could be removed from the paradox of"Knowledge is power"and there in is the oversimplification of this story along with inconsistencies and poor major character development for the reasons I had to take 1 and 1/2 stars off this 1987 film that runs 126 minutes.Still it does make a fun film and one wonders if this was the start of his decent into"winning"that would haunt Charlie Sheen later in life.No more explanation than the Limo back seat scene with the blond and coke is needed to "cum"to that conclusion.
However the scene that will remain in film history is Michael Douglas's "Greed is good"speech. So I recommend this for anyone interested in Wall Street who hasn't actually worked there as a primer and nothing more.Not for kids at all as the"millennium generation"is narcissistic and monetarily motivated enough as it is.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.This film spawned a much later sequel.
A young and impatient stockbroker is willing to do anything to get to the top, including trading on illegal inside information taken through a ruthless and greedy corporate raider who takes the youth under his wing.
