Although its impact has grown considerably more muffled over the years (the film’s explicit depiction of corporate greed and extortion was revolutionary at the time), this nevertheless stands up as an excellent and thoroughly gripping morality tale.
It may be predictable throughout, but the thing that really marks it out, its true selling point, is Michael Douglas, who gives a searing, electrifying and scarily believable portrayal of a power-crazy Wall Street businessman with one of the most inspired names in cinema: Gordon Gekko.
