Marty and Leo's combination is awesome as always!

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2014)

Martin Scorsese has delivered another masterpiece! Another beauty added to his collection. He did it with the movies like Goodfellas and The Aviator(Both being biographies); And, he has done it again with the biography of Jordan Belfort! Absolute beauty! No one can ever direct a movie based on true stories like this genius. Though the movie is nearly 3 hours(2 hours 57 mins to be precise), there's not a single moment where you will feel the story is going out of context or boring. Another highlight is the comedy. It is brilliantly taken care. And, he could have taken care of drug abuse of couple of characters which looks very unnatural and unrealistic; not even a super human can handle such high dosage of substance and survive(This is the only flaw in the story-line apart from the regular goofs). Now, coming to Leonardo DiCaprio's acting. Sheer perfection! He has delivered another Oscar Winning performance. I still wonder why haven't they given him an Oscar!(Hope he gets it for this one) He fits perfectly to the titular character. Amazing performance by Leo right from the very first scene till the end of the movie. Jonah Hill really surprised me with his performance. He has done justice to his role. Another important aspect of the movie is the music. Selection of songs for few scenes is simply superb and the background score as well. Movie is full of awesome one-liners and great speeches. This movie is not about gangsters or the mafia but more about the pursuit of success, money and how it all goes wrong when you're living the American dream. And, one cannot simply escape from the American judiciary system :p
