Exactly what you'd expect from a Wall St 80s movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2014)

Leo D was a good fit for this role as Jordan Belfort. The star of the movie was certainly Jonah Hill as his partner. Lots of money spent/wasted, drugs, and sex are the basis of the movie. Living a fast life both professionally (illegally) and personally for all characters who want the quick get-rich schemes on Wall St back in the late 80s-90s.
Being a NYer I'm disappointed with the bad, in consisted actors especially since they were from BK & Queens.
Overall the movie was entertaining, definitely predictable (except for the shipwreck), and the high energy made this almost three hour movie tolerable.
I'm surprised there were as many women portrayed as working for Belfort since during that time Wall St was predominately a male profession. Most women were behind the scenes as secretaries not traders. Typical boiler room flick with good acting. The beginning is very funny with Matthew Mc. Not shown in the movie his role actually owned 25% of Jordan Belfort's business but bailed after 2 years. He eventually served jail time too.
Most surprising aspect was that Belfort only served 22 months in federal prison. Didn't Martha Stewart get more than that for insider trading? Belfort stole millions from many people to whom he hasn't paid back yet!
