Howl like you mean it

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2014)

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET Lets start by saying, You know a film is good when Three old couples walk out due to the boorishness of a film, that is when you know you have made either an A grade movie or (A word i dislike using - FLOP) But this movie is far from a flop, this movie is receiving awards from every award ceremony on the planet, and why not? This movie is a bad ass mix of Scarface with comedy Brilliantly wrote to make you hate Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) and love him at the same time, A film (no offense ladies) aimed at men.
A film about a coke snorting broker who loves hookers, and trust me there is plenty of both in this film, and did i mention coke on hookers? BUT Don't let the last paragraphs or two phase you, it is still worth a watch Leonardo DiCaprio love or hate him, proves throughout this movie he can play the most pompous douche bag (Say that in a Brooklyn accent) to have ever blessed our screens, with some of the best performances he has ever done.
With an amazing support cast of people this movie really stands out from the crowd and comes in to its own, With brilliant acting performances from Jonah hill (hell i thought id never say Jonah hill and great acting in the same sentence), Margot Robbie, Mathew McConaughey and many many more, Which all really come in to their own element of acting With some stunning CGI to the point where i could not tell whether it was cgi background scenery, This movie really went all out to make the backdrop perfect for this film There are some of the most funny laugh out loud moments in this film, This film has to be one of the best comedy's since 2010 (YES A BIG STATEMENT AGAINST THE HANGOVER FRANCHISE) but honestly some of the comedy is timed perfectly and although rude and ambiguous I LOVED EVER MINUTE OF IT Now downfalls to this film ITS LONG Three hours long to be exact even, If it is a perfect recondition of the book it really is a bladder killer (After a can of monster trust me you feel the strain 2 and a half hours in) The soundtrack is a little bit crappy but with some good backing songs here and there when needed And although the cinema-tics looked a little classic (being a Scorsese film and all) it wasn't bright or vibrant or had sweeping camera angles that i like to see in films like this Yes it scores a 8 out of 10 but with a few niggles here and there it really could of been a nine or at a stretch a ten Anyway you be the judge for yourself Damian Hockey
