"Greed is Good." This is the credo of the aptly named Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), the antihero of Oliver Stone's Wall Street. Gekko, a high-rolling corporate raider, is idolized by young-and-hungry broker Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen). Inveigling himself into Gekko's inner circle, Fox quickly learns to rape, murder and bury his sense of ethics. Only when Gekko's wheeling and dealing causes a near-tragedy on a personal level does Fox "reform"-though his means of destroying Gekko are every bit as underhanded as his previous activities on the trading floor.

Here is an exceptionally great movie with perfect script, and perfect acting by Michael Douglas. The best aspect of the drama is the script, powerful and loaded scene after scene. This is writing skills at their best, which has contributed to the movie?s success more than all other aspects combined. Michael Douglas has brought out the spirit of the story extremely well. Other actors have done very well, too, and so has the director. The strong message of ethics presented makes this movie appropriate for teens as well as adults.
