商海通牒

2008年经济危机爆发时，华尔街一家投资银行的分析师皮特·苏利文（扎克瑞·昆图 Zachary Quinto 饰）发现公司的财产评估有着巨大的漏洞，即将导致银行的破产。公司高层连夜开会希望挽救公司。富有经验的股票经纪人山姆·罗吉斯（凯文·史派西 Kevin Spacey 饰）、证券经纪人贾德·科恩（西蒙·贝克 Simon Baker 饰）、金融危机分析师萨拉·罗伯特森（黛米·摩尔 Demi Moore 饰）、老总约翰·图尔德（杰瑞米·艾恩斯 Jeremy Irons 饰）都来到了会议现场。会议决定，银行要以极低的价格抛售债权和股票。但此一举虽能使银行能得到暂时的安稳，但却会引发一系列连锁反应.......

Junior employees Seth Bregman (Penn Badgley) and Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto) and senior trader Will Emerson (Paul Bettany) watch as a human resources team conducts mass layoffs on their trading floor. One of the fired employees is Eric Dale (Stanley Tucci), who works in risk management. Before leaving, Dale gives Peter a USB drive with a project he had been working on, telling him to "be careful." That night, Peter finishes the project, and discovers that trading will soon exceed the historical volatility levels used by the firm to calculate risk. Because of overleverage, if the firm's assets (in mortgage backed securities) decrease by 25%, the firm will owe more than its market capitalization. Sullivan alerts Emerson, who calls head of trading Sam Rogers (Kevin Spacey).

The employees remain at the firm all night for a series of meetings with more senior executives, including Jared Cohen (Simon Baker) and head of risk Sarah Robertson (Demi Moore), and finally CEO John Tuld (Jeremy Irons). Tuld reveals that his plan is simply to sell off all of the toxic assets before the market can react to the news of their worthlessness, thereby limiting the firm's exposure. Rogers knows this will spread the risk throughout the financial sector and will destroy the firm's relationships with its counterparties, who will never trust them again. The characters finally locate Dale, who had been missing after his company phone was turned off. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Rogers, Robertson, Cohen, and Tuld were somewhat aware of the risks. Tuld plans to offer Robertson's resignation to the board and employees as a sacrificial lamb.

Before the markets open, Rogers tells his traders they will receive seven figure bonuses if they achieve a 93% reduction in certain MBS asset classes. He admits that the traders are effectively destroying their own jobs and careers, severing relationships with their clients. Meanwhile, Robertson and Dale sit in an office, being paid handsomely to do nothing. Emerson manages to sell off his assets, but his counterparties become increasingly agitated and suspicious, and the day wears on. Having successfully reached the 93% benchmark, Rogers watches the same human resources team begin another round of layoffs on his floor. He confronts Tuld, who remarks that the current crisis is really no different from any other, and sharp gains and losses are simply part of the game. He wants Rogers to stay at the firm for another two years, stating that there will be a lot of money to be made from the coming crisis. Rogers sees Sullivan meeting with Cohen about his imminent promotion.

In the final scene, Rogers digs a hole in his front yard to bury his dog who died of cancer in reference to Tuld's comment that he could have been digging holes for his life.

两个高管和一个清洁女工站在电梯了那一段真是绝了，短短几十秒的镜头蕴含的东西超过整部电影剩余所有部分要说的一切。
一群好演员救了一部烂电影。
这么多好演员 导演你压力大不大 大不大
在金钱面前，总有些宝贵的东西会死去。比如埃里克建的大桥，山姆的职业道德，塞斯对未来的构想，不管那些多美好，在金钱面前，他们都会无奈地、痛恨地、忧伤地低下头。有时候你仿佛拥有改变世界的力量，最后却发现总是被世界改变。
应该能拿个奥斯卡原创剧本的提名吧，很扎实的本子，情节紧凑，推进得非常迅速又充满悬念，每个角色都表现出了与其职位相对应的性格面。金钱真是万恶之源啊。凯文·史派西、杰瑞米·艾恩斯、保罗·贝坦尼、西蒙·贝克、扎克瑞·昆图等等，这里的每个演员都有各自让人亮眼的表演。
评论时想到了一部日本电影——《我在一家黑公司上班已经快撑不下去了》
看了这片子后我羞愤的把打了4星的华尔街2改成了1星
不是学金融的看得太吃力了
一帅哥分析师（目测是雷曼）半夜加班的时候补全了前任上司留下的模型，然后发现他们手上的MBS风险太大，VaR随时会被爆掉，于是召唤上级，上级疯了，然后决策层坐着直升机半夜来开会，决定第二天大早把手上的炸弹们都低价抛售掉。过程中老中青三代演员互相彪戏，熟脸太多，一直出戏……
真的是全明星阵容啊：史派西, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Simon Baker, Zachary Quinton, Demi Moore, Penn Badgley, Stanley Tucci。华尔街的风云再起。比华尔街2好看多了。
整部片子气场太凶残了，每个男人都是出戏，各有各的小宇宙，凑在一起又能擦出四射的基情。。都说商场如战场，人生又何尝不是，祸福难料：客观来说单纯的残忍算不上残忍，真正的残忍需要算计，贪婪则是最真实的贫穷。。让人窒息的紧凑节奏，深刻体会到这才是世界末日来临之前的恐惧感啊！
簡單的對cut很可能只是為了掩飾技法上的不足，但卻難能可貴地創造出一份自有的風格（純粹意外）。當然，本片精彩的是劇情和表演本身的節奏，根本不用什麼場景與調度，內裡的張力一直沒消失
片子一開始就出來了我討厭的Dan和Heros裡面的Sylar，讓人恍惚了一下。Paul Bettany好帥啊長得就很英國。金融知識智障真是不太適合看這種電影。笑點居然是“Peter” / UA朗豪坊
Zachary Quinto第一个相中这个本子，这片子才得以上马，如今电影公映了， Quinto出柜了，片子也趁机火速进军碟市了，这完全就是Quinto的电影。对于人性和商人本性的挖掘就像几个演员眼里嘴里蹦出的冷门金融词汇，片子没有留下任何一个深刻的角色，倒也情节紧凑像模像样，而且还有全明星阵容！★★★☆
这片子好多影评都是12年那会的，好多门外汉还不懂啥叫margin call。结果2015年一个夏天过去大家基本都懂了。当时我几个同学群里都是一片鬼哭狼嚎，眼看老本就杠没了。讲真就不该让新手随便买margin trading。
华尔街怒汉
比起电影，更像一出写实的纪录片或话剧，每个演员都入戏而不抢戏，恰到好处地诠释着属于自己的人物，这只是金融危机下的一个缩影，足够真实，足够残酷。I do need money, who don't?
挺好看的其实，演员飚戏过瘾但不过分，气氛营造也很不错，史派西啊~越来越喜欢了！演好人坏人都这么赞。经济学术语有点微多啊，擦，吃了英语不好的亏，捶地。等出字幕再来一遍。
资本，赤裸裸的滴着鲜血
最近看的两部电影都是关于金融危机的。这个剧本确实功力深厚，场景十分简单，主要靠演员和台词。虽说本人毫无金融背景知识，不过还是从中看出着端倪。
