Luckily, his daughter is about to marry someone who will be. Gekko is introduced to youthful investment trader, Jake Moore, and once again initiates his plot to manipulate someone who is new to the business.<\/p>\n<p>The film is an expose on the finance industry which is Wall Street. It\u2019s filled with deception, manipulation, betrayal, and greed.<\/p>\n<p>As lovers on-screen, LaBeouf and Mulligan have great chemistry.
