Upon seeing the first critics screening of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps one sunny morning in Cannes, I rather hastily wrote less than 30 mins after the credits rolled;
My honest to God, 20 minute post-Cannes premiere kneejerk and potentially over-the-top reaction to Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps is that if it lucks the right momentum wave and if the older critics who cackled and rejoiced at Gordon Gekkos big screen comeback do the right thing then we may be talking a Best Picture contender. Im putting my balls on the line and so what?
In the end, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps didn't luck that momentum wave I was talking about but I still say it's a fine drama, a very good follow-up to a genuine 80's classic and I really hope those of you who stayed away from seeing it in the theatres will be picking it up on Monday when it's released on home video. Here's a UK exclusive clip promoting the Blu-ray and you can expect our full review of the transfer on Monday. In the mean time, you can also read our interview with Oliver Stone HERE and read my Cannes reaction piece HERE! Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is out on Blu-ray and DVD 31st January.
