Twitter Capsule: Every time I see Wall Street, I forget it. When I see it again, I realize why I forgot it. Camera, script, cast a seminar in shallow effects.

VOR: ③  Gekko's legacy endures. You wish the film were a little sharper about its themes (so nobody recalled him as an antihero or a badass!) or riskier in its construction.
