The first 20 minutes are OK

Rating: 6/10 (26 November 2014)

Or, however long Matthew McConaughey is on screen for, because apart from his scenes, really don't bother. All my 6 points are for his performance. The rest of the film is a pile of - I don't know what, but it's awful.
How on earth anyone though Di Caprio should have won the Oscar for this bemuses me. And that goes for all the other nominations and awards it received as well.
I suppose if you are a young misogynistic male with absolutely no morals it might appeal. But, do you really want to line the pockets of a con man any further?
I admit I turned off half-way through, I just couldn't bear it any longer. Maybe it improved? Maybe Di Caprio's character was gunned down by a disgruntled victim.
