The Gerneration
X "Wall Street". Too bad it isn't as good as the 80's version. This film
is "Wall Street" meets "Glengarry Glen Ross" but it is not as good as
either.
Ben Affleck tries to play the tough business leader role but it comes
off goofy because of the smirk he always seems to have on his face. Giovanni
Ribisi plays the young stock broker trying to make it big and not knowing
what kind of company he works for.
The movie is fun to watch but also painful as you can see that the Director
and Actors want to make it work but the screenplay just doesn't let them.
It plays more like a rip-off of the previous mentioned films than an homage.
It is worth renting if you aren't looking for a great film but an okay
one.
