Twenty-three years after he first visited the scene, Stone weighs in (thud!) on recent developments in the stock market, another chapter in his career of heavy breathing over epochal events. Gordon Gekko, his most memorable fictional creation (not to compete with Nixon, W., or Alexander the Great), out of prison after serving eight years for securities fraud, takes a backseat to his prospective son-in-law (Indiana Jones’s son, Shia LaBeouf), but the banal personal drama in turn takes a backseat to the abstruse financial shenanigans. A couple of charmingly literal-minded symbols (wind-borne soap bubbles, falling dominoes) offer simplification if not clarification. The sleek swank production certainly appears to have some familiarity with money. Michael Douglas, Carey Mulligan, Josh Brolin, Frank Langella, Eli Wallach, Susan Sarandon. (2010) — Duncan Shepherd
