It had a touching realism, and much of that comes from Grey's performance and Soderbergh's characterization of her. It shows how much can be done with a low budget and a simple story. I watched this twice in a row when it came out on Comcast Pay Per View at the same time it was being released in theaters.Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-7056888491830688482009-09-30T10:18:59.427-04:002009-09-30T10:18:59.427-04:00Thanks, J.D.

That seems to be more of the motivation behind Oliver Stone's decision to film a sequel to <i>Wall Street</i>.Tony Dayoubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632329277519635858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871549895931317151.post-45755360615089099392009-09-30T09:39:42.172-04:002009-09-30T09:39:42.172-04:00Excellent review.

Also makes me wonder if Soderbergh is doing some kinda Wall St-Corporate series, dealing with recent biz events.Ratnakar Sadasyulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500940093879831732noreply@blogger.com
