Best film of 2013

Rating: 9/10 (12 September 2014)

The Wolf Of Wall Street is hands down the best film of 2013. Martian Scorsese's brilliance is amazing in films like Goodfellas and Taxi Driver, and that early brilliance really came back for this film. Scorsese really went back to his directing roots here. And Leonardo Dicaprio's performance was phenomenal. What he did to the character of Jordan Belfort made you feel like Dicaprio was actually the man who wrote the memoir the film is based on. And Jonah Hill had one of the best performances of his career. That odd combination of actors for the lead cast really scared me at first, but they blew me away in the way that they bounced off of each others energy. The script was very well put together and if you ask any stockbroker from the 90's they'll tell you that wall street was EXACTLY as Scorsese depicted it in this film.
