Oliver Stone is a hack and hasn't made a good film since "Platoon."
Pretty anemic for Oliver Stone. It's not a bad movie, just not strong enough nor does it go far enough.
One * only, even though I did like it. I just wanted so much more.

Too much bad art in Wall Street and too much Woody Harrelson in Natural Born.
My problem with Oliver Stone is that he so obviously beats you over the head with his message. I enjoyed a couple of his movies..."Wall St" and "Natural Born Killers", but I sort of categorize him as the Dan Brown of film making--a purveyor of mindless (but sometimes entertaining) fluff.
