Leo and Scorcese Shines Yet Again!

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2015)

The Wolf of Wall Street is such a crazy, dynamic movie based on the true happenings of Jordan Belfort, a rich, drug-happy Wall Street investor who essentially defrauded everyone on Wall Street. Scorcese is known for taking films to another level, and he certainly does that here. The 3- hour film flies by with the drugs, booze, and more drugs as we see how corrupt Wall Street can be. This is Scorcese's craziest film to date, and that is surprising with his impressive filmography.
Martin Scorcese's film is about the events that landed Jordan Belfort in prison for thirty-six months for investment fraud. Rising from the humble beginnings of a penny investor, he moves his way up the ladder using not so legal methods as he is aided from the help of drugs, women, and alcohol.
Leonardo DiCaprio made have provided his best acting performance to date, which is impressive with his resume. He looked like he really had fun and he gave us one with no strings attached. The opening scene with him though is impressive with the little help of cocaine. Jonah Hill gave a fine performance as Jordan's drug-addicted, right-hand man. Matthew McConaughey had a brief, but excellent performance giving Jordan the workings of Wall Street. Finally, a star was born in Margot Robbie. She is just a goddess acting as Jordan's second wife. It helps that she is very pretty as well.
Overall, The Wolf of Wall Street is another excellent film to add in the resumes of both Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorcese. It also may be their most fun and craziest film to date. It's a very long film, but the length doesn't that bad because the film is stocked with so many interesting points. As a film based on Wall Street, only the 1987 film "Wall Street" may exceed this film in quality, although the tone of both films are sharply different. This film is a fun ride and part of me wish that Leo finally won the Oscar he deserves, but maybe next time. I rate this film 9/10.
