Ambitious young investment banker Jacob Moore (Shia LaBeouf) discovers that greed is still the name of the game when he forges a fragile alliance with onetime Wall Street hotshot Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) shortly after Gekko is released from prison. Having served eight years for securities fraud, money laundering, and racketeering, Gekko emerges from prison to find that his daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), prefers to remain estranged, and that his former Wall Street cohorts are still raking in the cash. Flash-forward to 2008, and Winnie is dating a proprietary trader named Jake Moore (LaBeouf), who expresses a passion for green energy while working for his mentor Louis Zabel (Frank Langella), of Keller Zabel Investments. Despite heading up one of the most prominent investment firms in the country, Louis Zabel is forced to personally fight for the future of Keller Zabel before the Federal Reserve after the company's stock takes a hit due to persistent rumors that it's being dragged down by debt. Denied a bailout from the government, Keller Zabel soon falls victim to a hostile takeover lead by powerful investment bank partner Bretton James (Josh Brolin), of Churchill Schwartz. His job on the line and his mentor out of the picture, Jake discovers that Gordon Gekko is out promoting his new book "Is Greed Good?" and decides to attend a lecture being given by the author at Fordham University. According to Gekko, greed is now sanctioned by the government, and the U.S. economy is on the verge of collapse as a direct result of leveraged debt and wild conjecture. When Jake goes behind Winnie's back to try and repair her relationship with her father, Gekko reveals his compelling theories on the likely reasons for Zabel's downfall. Later, as Jake begins plotting to avenge his mentor, Gekko starts to reveal his true colors. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I just saw this movie on opening day, I thought it was very good and kept me very interested in where Gordon Gekko(Michael Douglas) handled things now. Oliver Stone did a wonderful job with this movie. Shia LeBeouf did a good job as well, I am a fan. Oliver stone captured the same feel of the first movie and stepped up the pace a bit. To me their was not any confusion it is a movie that is of course visual but you also have to use your brain to keep up with game that is being played, and for Gordon Gekko and the world of Wall street it is all a game and we are the pieces.

    It was good, not as good as i thought it was going to be but very interesting. Some bits and pieces are confusing but just a couple parts. There were even some parts of comedy. MD is a very good actor. This was the 1st movie i saw him in and he is GOOD. This is a deff must see of 2010. Worth the time.

    I was really looking forward to this film. I liked the first one and was glued to it. I understood everything that went on in the first one. But I was lost in many of the scenes in this movie. Even though I am very familiar with the events in real life. Although it had its moments, it got boring many times. But the sceneries were quite spectacular and there is plenty of that throughout the movie! I really like Michael Douglas, and love just about every movie he's made, but his performance in many of the scenes in this movie were so unnatural. Never saw that from him in any movie! SPOILER: Gekko's final return to his daughter at the end was so unbelievable. Given that he begged her for forgiveness only to steal from her!?!?!
