Wall Street 2 News Flash: “authenticity is as phony as Bernie Madoff’s investment returns”
And we were expecting the equivalent of an on-screen MBA…
Disappointing but that’s the assessment of a WSJ critic according to Dealbreaker (the original WSJ article seems to have gone AWOL).
But it’s not clear if that means the film is entertaining or not. Some other details from the film have also emerged, from BI:
One bank is given the name “Churchill Schwartz,” and that it’s meant to be a codename for “Goldman Sachs.”
Nouriel Roubini doesn’t play “Dr. Doom,” he plays a made-up character, “Dr. Hashimi.”
Shia LeBoeuf’s character, Jake Moore, a 25 year old trader speaks fluent Mandarin.
Okey dokey.
Still, we liked the trailer.
