Reflecting its production during the financial crisis of 2009, "Wall Street" from Michael Lucas' Gotham Gay porn empire is small beer, released as a big-deal 2-DVD package but packing meager contents apart from the cast's jumbo sized packages.
Newcomer from Florida Kain Warn has the central role, for which he is billed last, and does a poor job of acting, though performing as the bottom in the various XXX scenes. Lucas cast himself as his unscrupulous boss, reciting his lines as dully as Kain does, and avoiding participation in any of the sex action this time out.
The screenplay credited to "Daraling" has a germ of a moral issue in it, but by the time of the amoral open ending even that is lost. What remains has nothing to do with the Oliver Stone franchise of the title but rather a cornball "climbing the ladder" story of a young creep with no values other than making it big.
Speaking of big, his boyfriend Bobby is played by Lucas contract guy Ben Andrews, boasting the largest member of the troupe which he puts to good use on our anti-hero. A completely extraneous sex scene is the movie's highlight, as Rafaael Alencar (as an employee Lucas fires from his financial firm) and another stud masturbate and then have sex on a moving NYC subway car in a showy and seemingly guerrilla filmmaking episode of sex in public.
To get ahead, Kain has a twink of a co-worker (Ethan Storm) bend over and take it in the rear from potential client for the firm Brogan (Arpad Miklos) during a meeting, earning boss Lucas's respect for doing whatever it takes to make that sale. There are plenty of chances for Kain to get his deserved comeuppance, but Daraling opts for a "he gets away with it" conclusion, most unsatisfying.
Shot on the cheap, there are scenes shot on location, but generally it's all-male claustrophobic sex filler. One scene set at a club is embarrassingly looking like an undecorated studio area or at best somebody's apartment -quite unlike the atmospheric approach of Lucas's best movies like "Dangerous Liaisons" and "La Dolce Vita".
