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.
