Scorsese Does It Again

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2014)

Sex, drugs, money. This film contains lots and lots of all three of those things. Some may say that the amount of it is gratuitous and unnecessary, but I think that's the point. These Wall Street guys had these things in excess, so why shy away from that? Scorsese directs this similarly to Goodfellas or Casino, but in a way that seems more fast paced and wild. It almost seems surprising that a an older director such as Scorsese could direct a film that seems so fast and full of youth, but he does it. The film is three hours long, but I enjoyed every minute of it. It's hilarious, shocking, entertaining, dramatic and overall, amazing. Don't miss this film.
