Wall Street is a continuation of Stone's love/hate relationship with corporate America and a worthy addition to his arsenal. He brings out excellent performances from an erstwhile cast, most of whom deserve some credit here. It's Douglas though, rightly so, that should take centre stage; his confident detailed performance of a man bent on power and greed shot him from the mundane to the a-list.
It has been said that it's about a detailed look as your going to get on the goings on of the stock market trading arena and this works well enough if you know anything about this 'industry' or not. It's filmed with great pace and produces a rounded storyline with characters which have a sense of purpose and whom all have reasons for their actions, no matter how shallow those reasons might be.
As a disc set the video is lacking somewhat and the audio might leave some people a little cold wondering what these new fangled HD audio codecs are all about. It's better than it has been before there's no doubt about it. It's an excellent view point on a brief moment of history where society didn't exist, all that was left was the individual and what they could make for themselves.
