As soon as I saw the Wall Street Money Never Sleeps trailer I was engaged. I couldn't wait to see the film which looked intelligent, exciting and topical. I couldn't have been more wrong.
I have a rule that once I start to watch a film I always watch to the end. This is usually no effort at all but Wall Street Money Never Sleeps was the longest two hours of my life. It was physically painful in fact.
The film may have had a decent cast of Shia LaBeouf, Michael Douglas, Frank Langella and Carey Mulligan, a topical and interesting plot line based on real events and a talented director - all the ingredients for the perfect film. But despite being topical it was painfully dull.
Based on the stock market crash in Wall Street I expected a thrilling, exciting and fast-paced film, reflecting the stock market itself. But the film was too much talking and used too much financial lingo - any viewer without an economics degree would struggle to keep up.
Although each cast member delivered a good performance, bursting with passion, they struggled to carry the film through without a good enough plot.
It's also far too long. For a film that makes passively watching such hard work, it also did it for far too long.
Unless you're a stockbroker or a financial advisor or an economist I would not recommend this film. You'll just feel like a fish out of water, or you'll feel out of your depth - kind of like the bankers who got us in this financial mess.
I am not a stockbroker or a financial advisor or an economist.This movie was Great and was very interesting to see how the Inside of Wallstreet May work but I am sick of Critics That CRAB out loud for no reason at all.These type of critics should watch their favorite movie over and over again.Kind of like Ground Hogs Day.
