Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
2010
Trader Jake (Shia LaBeouf) tries to mend the broken relationship between his fiancée, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), and her father, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), while avenging the fate of his mentor, Lou (Frank Langella), by getting close to Wall Street's new megalomaniac, Bretton James (Josh Brolin). Centered on the 2008 financial crisis, director Oliver Stone's follow-up is a modern-day ode to unfettered capitalism and, of course, greed.
Synopsis compliments of Netflix
Drama
It's hard to say this movie has a solid plot - it seems more like a character film. This leaves it feeling out of place when the film tries to deliver a plot twist. It's filmed and acted well, but motorcycle racing scenes seem totally out of place
