Wolf of Wall Street is a Masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2014)

I may have spoken a little too soon when I called "American Hustle" my favourite film of 2013. I had a feeling "Wolf of Wall Street" would be very good, and I am happy to say I was right.
Right from the opening scene, which is a commercial for Stratton Oakmont, Inc., you are hooked. Seriously. This film is crazy good.
Terence Winter proves that he is just as good at film as he is TV (Sopranos) as he delivers a great script based on the disturbing tale of Jordan Belfort.
Leonardo Dicaprio's transformation from a young, innocent stockbroker to a drug loving, sex crazed millionaire is truly something to behold. His performance in "Wolf" could finally earn him his long awaited (and much deserved) Oscar. I earlier said that Christian Bale's performance in American Hustle should be the front runner (and I have seen Chiwitel Ejiofor in 12 Years a Slave by the way) but Dicaprio will definitely be some tough competition for Bale.
Jonah Hill proves that Moneyball was no fluke. He appears to be here to stay as a serious actor, and why not? He delivers (probably) the greatest performance in his young career that could earn him another Oscar nomination.
And don't be fooled by the run time. Despite being 3 hours, "Wolf" was a rare exception for most 3 hours films I've seen - I didn't find myself bored once, and I was entertained the whole time.
I get this movie's not for everyone - there is a lot of inappropriate content in it that those who are easily offended may not enjoy. However, if that kind of stuff doesn't bother you - I strongly urge you to go see "Wolf of Wall Street" I know I will again.
