Leonardo DiCaprio will break his Oscar jinx

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2014)

Went to watch this movie all alone to ensure that I experience every bit of Scorsese's magic. Turned out to be one of the best movies I have watched in recent times. In addition, this movie excels in the black comedy genre.
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio has taken his acting to a whole new level in this one and no wonder Scorsese is interested in casting him time and again in his movies. A perfect 10/10 for Leo. In fact, almost every single actor has excelled in his or her role. Particularly, I loved Matthew McConaughey's role. It was short, yet his character and acting was very cool. The chick looks very hot. Yes, I am talking about Margot Robbie who plays the role of Noami, Leo's wife. My rating for the whole cast is 10/10. It was perfect.
Narration + Screenplay: It is good. Not excellent. I don't think it can be compared to other gems of Martin Scorsese. However, it was not bad at all. The team has ensured that we stay interested in the story, and yes, they have succeeded. However, there are just 1-2 instances when you might feel that the movie is a bit longer than required. Especially in the second half. 9/10
Direction: Rate Martin Scorsese? You must be kidding! 10/10
Laugh riot? Not exactly! Not a laugh riot. But, a very sensible black comedy movie. It doesn't make us laugh by showing chaotic or funny senseless scenes. However, the movie wins big time by bringing on the screen, the right amount of humor at regular intervals. 9/10
Would I recommend this movie? Hell, yeah! This is yet another classic from Scorsese and Leo.
I hope and pray for Leo. Wish he wins the Oscar for his acting finally and breaks his jinx.
