Highly Entertaining But Pointless

Rating: 5/10 (19 February 2014)

Very rarely a movie comes which is entertaining yet disappointing. The Wolf Of Wall Street makes you wonder why there was a need to tell a story about a personality like Jordan Belfort. Jordan isn't a hero or a role model whose life should be celebrated or emulated. He made tons of money illegally, disrespected the law and the system, abused drugs and had multiple sex partners. There is no reason to why he did it and nothing extraordinary about how he did it. The movie is about Jordan having no limits. He did whatever he wanted and how much he wanted. There is no greatness about his life or a lesson to be learned. Sure, the movie is filled with fun, humor and brilliant performances, but for a biopic, it could have been about a hero.
