Review - excellent

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2014)

For someone like me who has read the book that this movie is based on I can safely say that is a clear cut 10/10. The movie follows the book almost perfectly and the whole casts absolutely nails their characters (Leonardo and Jonah Hill especially).
I don't understand the people saying that Scorsese has lost his touch, this movie is masterfully done with his signature techniques. And for the people that say the movie is just drugs and sex, first of all you can't be mad at movies showing that these days, it's not the 50's anymore and you need to grow up. And secondly, welcome to Jordan Belfort, this debauchery needs to be shown because it demonstrates just how excessive this guys life was and it does it brilliantly.
Overall a definite 10/10 and has been thrust in to my top ten and looks to stay there.
