Painfully Long

Rating: 5/10 (26 January 2014)

This film had the length of Good Fellas (3 hours) but a weak storyline which stole from Wall Street and Boiler Room. It also had a terrible sub text about drug abuse and made you sit through a pretty intense drug binge and melt down moment that was just no fun to watch at all. This was a Martin Scoresese's worst movie for sure. A drug taking thief on wall street doesn't make for a 3 hour movie. A mafia movie on the other hand does. Decaprio is as always a good lead. He is a superb actor despite his cheesy start in Titanic. I felt after seeing Boiler Room though that the penny share dealing scamming is not worth Scoresese putting his hand to.
