good entertainment, nothing unexpected

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2014)

I you expect good Hollywood entertainment, than this is for you. It's fun to follow the protagonist on his trip. It is the definition of excess. Both professional and private. Both financially and in relation to his party-life, he really knows how to gets his money out of his job. And that is what makes him successful. His abnormal expectations give him authority, trust and everything he wants.
The quality of the film is on a normal Hollywood level. Not much art, not much creativity, too much money. Sound, camera, play and effects are state of art (of course leo is great!).
My personal rating is 6 stars, because the story is modest. There are some very good scenes and statements. The fact that he sells crap to rich people is very interesting on a meta-level. There is no moral sense in the film and the subversive message is for my opinion really socialistic, but the Robin Hood style he redistributes wealth is an really empowering example how one can impact the big business for the good or for the bad. If you dream of big ideas this film can help you loose your fears of selling your product to rich people.
The rest of the story is foreseeable and in some parts boring (3h) altogether its not a must see film.
