Wall Street 2, Money Never Sleeps

I just saw the movie tonight, our first date night in quite awhile. It was centered on the 2008 crash of Wall Street and there were obvious hints at the failure of banks like Bear Streans and Leehman Brothers, a fairly obvious company with the initials CS behind the demise of one the banks-similar to GS which was thought to have spread rumors and selling short the banks. Also there was a suicide on the train tracks, perhaps a reference to  KIRK STEPHONSON or several other suicides related to these firm's collapse.

Overall Oliver avoided any possible law suits, but the innuendo was strong enough to give you an idea of who was who in the zoo. I'm sure others who see the film can make the connections better then I.

Overall-the first Wall Street was better.

I think Oliver Stone could have done a much better job with the film considering that historic year. I give 2 stars of five.

Stay tuned for a market post coming up with some interesting twists and turns.
