Wall Street: money never sleeps … or does it?

The World

Today, one of the greatest screen villains of the past quarter century returns in ?Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.?

This time, Gordon Gekko, again played by Michael Douglas, returns to the investment banking world just in time to see it crash and burn … and of course, in time to benefit from it crashing and burning.

But while some fans of Gekko and “Wall Street” are thrilled with the prospect of a sequel, we’re more interested in knowing whether the movie is good, the facts accurate, and what we might learn from it.

Movie date co-hosts Rafer Guzman and Kristen Meinzer share their opinions. And Louise Story, who covers the real Wall Street for the New York Times gives her insights.
