Product Description
Product Description
In this riveting, behind-the-scenes look at big business in the 1980's, an ambitious young broker (Charlie Sheen) is lured into the illegal, lucrative world of corporate espionage when he is seduced by the power, status and financial wizardry of Wall Street legend Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas). But he soon discovers that the pursuit of overnight riches comes at a price that's too high to pay.
Amazon.com
Michael Douglas won an Oscar for perfectly embodying the Reagan-era credo that "greed is good." As a Donald Trump-like Wall Street raider aptly named Gordon Gecko (for his reptilian ability to attack corporate targets and swallow them whole), Douglas found a role tailor-made to his skill in portraying heartless men who've sacrificed humanity to power. He's a slick, seductive role model for the young ambitious Wall Street broker played by Charlie Sheen, who falls into Gecko's sphere of influence and instantly succumbs to the allure of risky deals and generous payoffs. With such perks as a high-rise apartment and women who love men for their money, Charlie's like a worm on Gecko's hook, blind to the corporate maneuvering that puts him at odds with his own father (played by Sheen's offscreen father, Martin). With his usual lack of subtlety, writer-director Oliver Stone drew from the brokering experience of his own father to tell this Faustian tale for the "me" decade, but the movie's sledgehammer style is undeniably effective. A cautionary warning that Stone delivers on highly entertaining terms, Wall Street grabs your attention while questioning the corrupted values of a system that worships profit at the cost of one's soul. --Jeff Shannon

The disc included the WRONG booklet - for "She's the One" - the Edward Burns film from the 1990s. The box was shrink wrapped and sealed with a printed label, so I assume this was a mistake at the factory (and possibly explains the sub-$10 price). In my opinion, the quality of the Blu Ray image on a 70-inch 1080P screen was "just OK" - I wasn't blown away by the picture, it was grainy and dark. My receiver showed the "DTS" logo and sound was excellent though. I have not watch the extra yet, but they appear to be old TV specials and in 4x3 format.
WHAT HOLDS UP WELL:
1. The performances - I had forgotten, but this movie has a ton of great actors beyond the main players.
2. The numbers - Many dollar amounts mentioned (i.e. Gekko's daily salary) are still impressive by today's standards.
3. The technology - It's glaringly outdated (a handheld copier, "brick" phone, camcorder, etc) but surprisingly it doesn't detract from the story and makes the viewer focus on the story all the more.
WHAT DOES NOT HOLD UP WELL:
1. Technicalities - Early on there's a reference to the Challenger explosion, even though the scene was taking place in 1985 before the explosion. (Of course, this film was made 32 years ago before it was so easy to look all this stuff up..)
2. Film-audience interaction - At one point, Bud looks out on the city and literally asks "Who am I" - this line was cringe inducing and I'd imagine there would be a more subtle way to convey this point today.
3. The costumes - For some reason, the costumes and artwork (D. Hannah's gray hat for example) even though they were just as outdated as the technology were a lot more "jarring"..
WHY REVISIT THIS NOW:
When this movie was released, I was barely entering high school and saw it on cable TV. As an adult having been in the workforce a while, I can relate better now to some of the business issues (companies being carved up, discussing career goals with your dad, "hard work" vs stock manipulation, etc.). And while I am not particularly a fan of Stone's (or Sheen's) politics, I do feel like this tells a good story.
I’m upgrading from the 2007 20th anniversary DVD which looked great on old CRT TVs and passable on late 2000s 1080p LCDs. However that 2007 Blu-ray/DVD transfer is not only heavily dated but dark, lacking depth and simply just lifeless.
I made sure to order the Signature Series version from 2012 which comes from a brand new 4K scan and restoration and the results are immediately apparent from the get go and it looks superb on my LG OLED C8. Black levels are fantastic, flesh tones natural (no oversaturated red push here), a big uptick in detail and great delineation. Absolutely no DNR to be found here. The grain varies from being a little bit chunky in the opening title sequence to being rather fine for the majority of the film making for a very filmic transfer and the way 35mm movies should always be presented on a high resolution format such as Blu-Ray.
It is such a big difference that Fox should’ve stopped printing the old 2007 disc. So don’t say you weren’t warned!
The audio hasn’t fared as well but it’s lossless and true to the source. While dialogue is audible and clear throughout the track isn’t very dynamic and voices are rather thin lacking fullness. While there is tear activity at times this movie is front/center channel heavy with both the original Dolby 4.0 track and the 5.1 remix.
Overall I highly recommend this disc and $5 is a steal for a film and transfer of this quality. If you love this movie you would be doing yourself a disservice by not taking advantage of the super low price while it lasts.
All time 80's greatest movie, not to be missed.

The film doesn't have a great deal of colour, the office interior is largely made up of greys, whites and browns, as are most of the costumes that the characters wear. There's some nice establishing shots of New York in the early morning as Charlie Sheen's character makes his way to work. The film is very heavy on dialogue and the plot is generally easy enough to follow, the environment the traders work in is fast and energetic.The film explores nicely the dynamics of father/son relationships. Sheen's character finds himself under the influence of Michael Dogulas's character a slick, powerful entrepreneur who takes him under his wing. This corrupting influence is presented in stark contrast with his actual father an old fashioned union rep with a deep distrust of rich businessmen and a strong thread of decency and principle in his body.
Telling the tale of Budd Fox (Charlie Sheen), a young upstart, heavily in debt with stars in his eyes, the story starts off smoothly. Desperate to get in with the big hitters, he soon finds himself getting into highly dodgey business with Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas).
Charlie Sheen turns in the finest performance of his career and really brings out the pathos in the naive and young Budd Fox, trapped in the dark business that is sales. Before he knows it, he has become exactly what he set out to be, with all the baggage attatched. Douglas is also fantastic as the inspirational and ultimately repulsive Gekko, and the list of lackies and struggling salesmen as the scum and losers of this morality tale deliver with panache. How far would you go? How much is too much?
Oliver Stone has earned his reputation as a controversial film maker; from the violence of war in Platoon to spurious conspiracy claims in JFK, and Wall Street is no exception. Some call it anti capitalist or plain Marxist, I don't. For me, I look at the ending and see the consequences of dishonesty. Stone brings about a negative twist to the world which I have seen with my own eyes. No one ever said it was perfect, and those who say it is all bad are just plain wrong. And no film ever showed that better than Wall Street.
Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
Often imitated, never surpassed, "Wall Street" is a stylish, intoxicating, stunning embodiment of an era when anybody could carve his way to the very top of American society by ruthless ambition and sheer determination; it was true when it was made, and it is possibly even more true today with the current economic gloom.
"The main thing about money, Bud, is that it makes you do things you don't want to do".
Gekko: "If somthing's worth doing it's worth doing for money. I'm talking liquid. Enough money to have your own jet. Enough money not to waste time. Fifty, one hundred million dollars. A player."
So strap on your braces, slick back your hair, light up an Esplendido and fire up the DVD player---money never sleeps, pal.
