Scorcese does not disappoint.

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2014)

This movie is a modern rags to riches story about a decent guy turned into scumbag, stockbroker, drug addict who becomes filthy rich, and I loved it. It portrays the main character's lifestyle as a debaucherous, decadent indulgence that rivals that of Ancient Rome. Overall the acting is great but I think Leo's performance starts out a little hokey when he first puts on the New York accent, which is why I gave it a 9, but it improves after the first twenty minutes. I thought the most amazing performance was Jonah Hill's, and in my opinion he definitely deserves the Academy Award. Martin Scorcese never disappoints me and if your a fan of his you will love this movie, but it's not for everyone. If you are offended by movies that contain copious amounts of sex, drugs, and greed, do not see this movie. Otherwise, this is a must see
