A near excellent satire on greed, excess, corruption and indulgence it showcases hedonism at it's best!

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2013)

After watching "Wolf of Wall Street" you will feel entertained and also a bit down as you see the good and high party times of a rich greed corrupted stock broker has a fallout to it. That fallout includes drug addiction, broken relationships and yes a prison sentence. Anyway veteran and legendary director Martin Scorsese hams up this satire to show the world of the late 80's thru the mid 90's and how the world of wall street took off becoming a major power player. The wall street business became a pool and a scheme of crime and corruption that tied in both the corporate world and the banking industry. The film based on true events centers on Jordan Belfort(a role that Leonardo DiCaprio pushes to the edge)an up and coming young guy who all of a sudden becomes a wealthy and powerful stockbroker. And Belfort's methods and his rise to power involves bribes, schemes, and false bank accounts that are made for his customers and victim clients. The film has it all insider trading and false security tips still it makes Jordan a very very rich guy. Along with the life comes hard partying coke snorting, binge drinking, and a lot of sex with beautiful women mostly escorts still Jordan hooks a sexy trophy wife. And a man named Donnie(the super Jonah Hill)is funny and crazy as Jordan's partner in crime and top sidekick. Still the good times and high life brings the bad life of addiction and broken relationships all leading to a prison sentence. This is one picture that is a showcase on excess and indulgence showing that the good life can be lived up with highs yet the lows to come are evident as the wolf can only howl for so long and only to a certain point.
