★★

Creator: Oliver Stone
Year: 2010

I was so looking forward to this film. I’m like the scene from the Boiler Room where they can recite every line from the original film. But that would have been asking for too much. I’m not even sure why I’m giving it 2-stars versus 1 because it was that bad. One of the worst (of many scenes) was Michael Douglas ordering a Heineken, Shia LaBeouf saying me too, close-up of the bottles – product placement at it’s worst.

Oliver Stone could have gone so many ways with this film but he just made a straight film without going further into the context of the financial market collapse. A great opportunity but very short sighted.
