Wall Street (1987 Film)
''Wall Street'' is a 1987 American drama film, directed and co-written by Oliver Stone, which stars Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, Daryl Hannah, and Martin Sheen. The film tells the story of Bud Fox (C. Sheen), a young stockbroker who becomes involved with Gordon Gekko (Douglas), a wealthy, unscrupulous corporate raider. Stone made the film as a tribute to his father, Lou Stone, a stockbroker during the Great Depression. The character of Gekko is said to be a composite of several people, including Dennis Levine, Ivan Boesky, Carl Icahn, Asher Edelman, Michael Milken, and Stone himself. The character of Sir Lawrence Wildman, meanwhile, was modelled on the prominent British financier and corporate raider Sir James Goldsmith.

The film was well received among major film critics. Douglas won the Academy Award for Best Actor, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reception John Harrington reviewed ''Wall $treet Raider'' and ''Wall Street Wizard'' for '' Games International'' magazine, and gave it a rating of 7 out of 10, and stated that "In the end, choosing between the two may come down to that hoary old question of what is preferable: game or simulation. ''Wizard'' puts the emphasis on fun and plays better than ''Raider'' as a solo game, and would therefore better suit the 'seat of the pants' style of player.." The reviewer from ''Aktueller Software Markt ''Aktueller Software Markt'' (literally ''Current Software Market''), commonly known by its acronym, ''ASM'', was a German multi-platform video game magazine that was publi ...
