The Wolf of Hollywood!

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2014)

I have two main points to say, first being Mr.DiCaprio has delivered a cracker of a performance. Second being Mr.Scorsese has made a farce out of movie which could have been something else.
I once heard a joke that if there was a movie made on Mr.DiCaprio in which the actor playing him had actually won an Oscar for the performance it would be damn hilarious as Mr.DiCaprio can never earn one himself. This joke i think struck Mr.DiCaprio rather hard, as you can see the desperation in his performance in this movie. Of course he has delivered many a memorable performances in "Inception", "The Beach", "Catch Me If You Can" and "The Man in the Iron Mask". This movie is different, it is different for him very much as never has he been so bang on in creating a riotous comic scene with the true conviction of a actor. Some scenes in this movie have been written for Mr.DiCaprio and he fits into the shoes like a veteran with such ease that it amazes you.
Mr.Hill complements him very well as the awkward homo erotic klutz who is a steadfast friend. The pleasant surprise was Mr. Kyle Chandler with a determined and charismatic role. Mr.McConaughey in a brief but important role was a added asset to the cast. Miss Margot Robbie was ever so gorgeous as all the leading ladies in Mr.Scorsese movies are.
Mr.Scorsese has been strong in weaving tales which grip you like a "f**king" iron vice, he hasn't faltered in this one too. Who am i to be even be able to review the great Mr.Scorsese but all i can say is "tut tut", as this movie could have been made into classic but it seems to have been settled down for a entertaining farce of urban gimmicks like drugs, stupid men who swear a lot and lot of "A" rated scenes.
Kudos to Mr.Terence Winter for writing a entertaining script with such plot points which you can expect before hand yet can't help but admire. Cinematography by Rodrigo Prieto is crisp yet rich.
Nevertheless some scenes hit you like a concrete wall and you cannot help but cringe at the crudity of life as it is shoved onto your face.
