Realistic, Entertaining and Gritty portrayal of how greed affects us

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2014)

Dicaprio and Scorsese provide another great film, in their 5th collaboration together. Film is about characters and the themes of greed and the modern need for 'excess' in society. No bars are held back, which ultimately give an unfortunately realistic and gritty portrayal of these themes and how they are still corrupting many in contemporary society including sex, drugs, hookers, nudity, money. Many complain about these dark elements being too excessive and too black, but in my opinion it just shows how real these issues are and what they are actually like instead of sugar coating them.
