Wall Street

The movie where a guy and his dad play a guy and his dad. The guy lies, cheats and commits fraud in order to make himself a rousing success until he gets turned into the feds by his mentor when the guy has a pang of conscience and turns the tables on him.

After the feds come for him, they cut a deal. So the guy then wears a wire and gets the mentor to confess some stuff so the feds can get him too.

In the end, everyone that got rich is in trouble. The honest (???) people in the movie, like the guy’s buddy that got jealous of his success, were all portrayed as jerks and the women in the movie (except for the guy’s mom) were greedy, materialistic and quick to run for the door when trouble came calling.

Except for the jail part, it was like high school.

But don’t worry about trying to see it. Just watch the news.
