passable Marty Scorsese- Leo Di Caprio collaboration

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2019)

One of Marty Scorsese's lesser films in my opinion, but maybe it's the subject that I find uninteresting. Based on the real life travails of Jordan Belfont(Di Caprio) The wolf of wall street is made well but suffers from an excessive run time, and whilst I know that this was probably meant to be seen as dark comedy, the fact that not one character is likeable makes it sort of a chore to sit through. Leonardo is good although I only seem him playing a character. Jonah Hill steals the show in many scenes he is featured in and argot Robbie looks great, with and without clothes. In the end I am unsure if the great reviews are being given after looking at the marquee- would a similar film, made by someone other than Scorsese garner so much plaudits? I am not sure. Still, if you happen to be a fan of the director or the lead actor Wolf of wall street is a nice diversion, but not much more.
