REVIEWS:

"What's intriguing about 'Wall Street'...is that the movie's real target isn't
Wall Street criminals who break the law. [Director Oliver] Stone's target is
the value system that places profits and wealth and the Deal above any
other consideration. His film is an attack on an atmosphere of financial
competitiveness so ferocious that ethics are simply irrelevant, and the
laws are sort of like the referee in pro wrestling--part of the show."

-- Roger Ebert; December 11, 1987
