J. Pierpont Morgan: Emperor of Wall Street Audience Reviews

SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
