The awfulness of this movie sticks with you for a while

Rating: 1/10 (16 May 2014)

This film is utter garbage. As everyone has pointed out, it is just hours of different variations awful human being acting like awful human beings, and soft core porn.
A good film might incorporate elements such as these in small doses, to help build a character or to set a certain tone, similar to how a good chef might use hot peppers to bring out certain flavors in a dish. By that analogy, for this film our "chefs" just microwaved a frozen burrito and poured ghost peppers all over it.
We get it, these guys like to do drugs and screw hookers and steal peoples money. We don't need this illustrated to us over and over again. Once or twice is enough.
I was expecting something intelligent, maybe a behind the scenes look at how the world of wall street works, with some intellectual drama, some conflict between characters, something. Instead, no plot, no point, nothing even really about wall street.
This went beyond being a bad movie, it pretty much ruined an entire night. I watched this with my wife via on demand. The internet went out at about the hour and 45 minutes mark, ending the movie, and this might have been the single best thing that ever happened to me.
The damage was already done. She picked the movie, so she felt foolish, I felt embarrassed watching non stop pornography and other disgusting, and totally unnecessary scenes with her. (For one specific example, full male nudity showing masturbation) We both just ended up feeling awkward and disgusted about the whole thing. It ruined our evening completely.
I read another review about a guy who took his wife and kids (kids age unclear) to see this, and he ended up apologizing to them. This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. This movie should be avoided at all costs - unless you like your soft core porn flicks to last 3 hours.
