A Must See For "Sales Movie" junkies

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2013)

OK, I'll jump straight to the bad because I want to get it out of the way, and there's plenty more good. First off, the run time. Too long. 3 hours, I'm sorry but in today's ADD society, where people are habitually checking their iphones every 3 seconds - 3 hours is way too long to expect people seated in front of a movie. Secondly, there are some scenes that toe the line of soft core porn. The debauchery is not all gratuitous but it is a bit over the top (although Margot Robbie naked is one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen in my entire life - damn you Leo!). So, while the nudity and drug use in this movie will probably get a lot of moralist undies in a bunch, if you can stomach a few sex scenes that might make you a little uncomfortable and lines of blow off of naked bosoms, the film does have plenty of substance behind it.
Even though the movie is a little too long, it does have a good flow to it. There are no real dull moments. You stay pretty engaged in the film the whole time. Dicaprio knocked his role out of the park. Jonna Hill does a surprisingly good job as well. The FBI dude is ah so-so but I guess you can't always have Tom Hanks chasing Leo around. Overall, the casting for the movie is solid.
So in summary, this is a must see for sales movie junkies. I'm taking if you're of Wall Street, Glengarry glen Ross, Suckers...ilk, you're definitely going to enjoy this. People will get offended and even upset that this was based on a true story and that someone like Jordan Belfort actually will profit of this movie, but those aren't salesmen! Salesmen (real salesmen) know that in every transaction there is a winner and a loser. Nothing is 50/50. If you have a problem making money off of other people's expense, you usually going to be on the losing end of most transactions.
