Movie Haiku:Compelling drama set in a brokerage “chop shop” where the trainees are taught high pressure tactics to rope potential investors into dubious schemes. At day’s end, the guys congregate around a wide-screen TV & compete by quoting Michael Douglas’s “Greed is Good!” speeches from WALL STREET.
