I just saw this movie for the first time and I overall liked it but it could have been even better. And even though I think Charlie Sheen did a servicable effort as Bud Fox I can't help to fell that his more okay-ish performance is one of the key things that holds this movie back from reaching it's full potential. Instead of Charlie Sheen I think Tom Cruise would have been a perfect choice for the part. He could have brought more intensity to the character and he was the right age and was a big star at the begining of his career the time.

Yeah, I tend to agree. Charlie Sheen was fine and I wouldn't say he detracted from the film at all. However, I think Cruise may have given a slightly better performance.
More so, Cruise's involvement in the film almost certainly would have made it a meaningfully bigger hit. In my opinion, 86-87 is right at the point that Cruise was reaching his heights in terms of stardom (I believe he essentially plateaued at that level for the next 15 or so years). Of course, it would have cost a lot more to cast Cruise than Sheen.

I totally agree he would have been perfect.
