Stupid and Poorly Written, 15 June 1999
1/10
Author: Stanley-6 from London, Ontario

Dealers is a messy cliche of a film. It is yet another one of those films that portrays the world of finance as a high-energy, high stakes game of egos and questionable morality. In reality, playing with other people's money as recklessly as the people in this movie do will end in negligence lawsuits or bankruptcy (a la Barings Bank). On the cinematic front, this is not a good film. The script is poor and the acting isn't much better. Rebecca DeMornay is nice to look at but just isn't credible. This movie seems to have been made to cash in on the bull market mentality of the Eighties. There are generous doses of Oliver Stone's slightly-better Wall Street in this film, along with elements of several other films. Sadly, this film seems to have been copied in large measure by a current Canadian TV series called Traders. Same cliched crap.
