IMDB

Charlie Sheen plays an opportunistic and hungry young Wall Street stock broker.  He gets the attention of Michael Douglas with an insider trading tip that makes him a lot of money.  They team up and illegally make some money until Douglas double crosses him on a deal to buy out the airport where his father works.
This movie was okay.  I’m not interested in the stock market.  I don’t understand how it works and I don’t really care.  It’s basically just gambling and I don’t gamble.  I found the movie to be drenched in yuppie bullshit.  I hate yuppies.  This movie didn’t parody them like the great “American Psycho,” it somewhat glorified them in the melodramatic way that “Cocktail” glorified being a bartender.



6/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
