"I was not expecting to see Tom Cruise playing a Gordon Gekko meets Donald Trump type of ruthless real estate mogul. That said, Cruise brought his A-Game, reminding the audience of past performances from films like Magnolia or Collateral where the character's actions should make us dislike him, but yet some how through Cruise's charisma and talent, we still find ourselves rooting for." - Glenn Magnus, Maxim
"The filmmakers have surrounded star Tom Cruise with reliable character actors that are able to hold their own opposite the A-Lister. In addition to Cruise, I could see some awards buzz for Bill Murray's cantankerous performance as NYC Mayor Ed Koch." - Willa Pulaski, Salon.com
"The film is clearly inspired by some of former real estate mogul and current US President Donald Trump's business exploits of the 1980s, but don't let that dissuade you from watching this one. While some of the events are very similar, Fincher and Cruise have created an original, lively character to live them." - Ken Hammerschmidt, Washington Post
