Nixon (1995)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 1995, Oliver Stone, USA
  • 1 Comment

Largely compelling and a history lesson as dramatic entertainment, Stone’s ambitious if sometimes heavy-handed portrait of the flawed presidency of Richard Nixon borders on Shakespearean tragedy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Savages (2012)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 2012, Oliver Stone, USA
  • Leave a comment

Oliver Stone is back in business in this brutal crime drama about drug cartels that is also flashy and entertaining.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 2010, Oliver Stone, USA
  • Leave a comment

Not as incisive and critical as the first film, Stone’s sequel, set in the context of the global financial crisis, is still decent enough to warrant a casual viewing.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Any Given Sunday (1999)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 1999, Oliver Stone, USA
  • 1 Comment

Perhaps too unfairly dissed, this is electrifying filmmaking by Stone as he captures the excessive machismo of sport—in this case, American football—with flashy editing and an energetic ensemble cast that includes strong turns by Al Pacino and Jamie Foxx.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

JFK (1991)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 1991, Oliver Stone, USA
  • 3 Comments

One of the greatest films ever made, this is sensational, complex and absolutely rivetting filmmaking by Oliver Stone about one of the most shocking American events of the 20th century and the fascinating conspiracy theories behind it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Born on the Fourth of July (1989)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 1989, Oliver Stone, USA
  • Leave a comment

One of Stone’s stronger works, this recreation of the 1960s American struggle for freedom amid the turmoil of the Vietnam War is at best fervent and emotional.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Wall Street (1987)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 1987, Oliver Stone, USA
  • 1 Comment

Stone’s take on the greed and problematic ethics of Wall Street remains relevant though there is a sense of mechanical dullness to the proceedings – interesting but not particularly compelling.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Platoon (1986)

  • Stone, Oliver
  • 1986, Oliver Stone, USA
  • 4 Comments

Stone’s Oscar-winning film retains its power and authenticity, and ranks as one of the best Vietnam War movies ever made.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
