Disappointed

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2013)

The beginning of this film appealed to the adolescent in me with the break the rules, crazy behavior of the wall street swindlers but soon it became so clear that this film was glorifying amoral, unrepentant thieves who stole millions of dollars from unsuspecting hard working people. They haven't paid back their victims and are now out of jail continuing to make money off of their illegal/amoral behavior. The acting was OK but hard to enjoy in the context of the real story and the thought that I was contributing to their wealth and probably boosting their pathological egos, not something I want to spend my money on. Mr Scorsese may have thought he was creating a social statement on Wall Street greed and crime but I had a hard time finding any value in sitting through this disappointing movie.
