, come hell or high finance. For the Gordon Gekkos of the world, it’s not just that greed is good, it’s that greed is omnipresent. They can’t imagine life defined by anything else. Two of those Wall Streeters, Emily and Luke , have to hide their love because they work at the same investment firm—and work, naturally, comes first. It’s a sexy little problem to have, a lot of running around and taking different routes to work, that’s snowballed.
Domont’s script runs us through the workings of the office just enough to understand that Emily, the only woman on her floor, is a brilliant tactician. She barrels through briefings and, after swallowing her pride, throws out Cool Girl repartee that’d make Amy Dunne blush. She’s here to win, only rocking the boat when it’s clear that she’s the financial kaiju making waves. Luke? Luke is around.
