A Crazy Crazy Ride!

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2014)

All I can say after watching this film is that I have a headache. I mean that in the best possible way. So much is going on in this film at once, that some people would find to be too extreme and OTT. This film may seem superficial on the face of it, but what I found was a great depiction of capitalism gone wrong.
The frenetic pace of the film may be too much for people to handle but it is what makes the film so entertaining. This is simply one of the most entertaining films to come out in the past decade in my opinion.
Di Caprio is incredible as always but also surprised me in the lengths he went to portray Jordan as the greedy individual he was. Jonah Hill was also a great surprise for me as were the other supporting cast.
This was a hell of a ride and should be seen. I don't know whether I would rank it as highly as Goodfellas but it is one of Scorcese's best.
I have to say, however, that the film was about 30 mins longer than it should have been. But the film does a great job of entertaining you all the way through.
This is a truly incredible achievement by Scorcese and lived up to all the expectations I had.
