The Wolf of Wall Street

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2013)

The Wolf of Wall Street is an excellent film with a strong sense of magic surrounding it. All who came out to the special pre-screening in Pittsburgh were excited to see somewhat of a spectacle, and that is what we got. DiCaprio is mesmerizing, dizzying in his portrayal of Jordan Belfort. He's the guy you love to hate, and the envy of every man. The supporting cast nails it. Jonah Hill never forgets his humor, playing a caricature of sorts, and playing it well. All in all, I would buy this film and watch again, especially for the luxury of pausing. Its 3 hour run shouldn't discourage you, though. Every minute feels like a second, and the movie moves faster than most 90 minute flicks. It's worth the time and money to enjoy this. Be cautious of its content, however, as it will not sit well with everyone. Enjoy!
