An excellent film with amazing performances from Di Caprio and Hill

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2014)

I have just watched "the wolf of wall street" what an amazing movie and it is definitely one of the best collaborations between Scorsese and Di Caprio to date. Running at 3hrs in length the film never once drags, it is a very fast paced movie with Scorsese managing to capture the essence and hedonism that ran wild through wall street during the 80's and 90's. Performance wise Di Caprio, as always, is magnificent, once again showing the world what a gifted and talented and versatile actor he is, if he is snubbed by the Oscars again then it is a complete travesty. Jonah hill has gave what I think is his best performance ever to date and manages to cross over to drama flawlessly, he is definitely one to keep an eye on in the future.
The only issue I have with the film is that after reading the book first there were a few scenes I was looking forward to seeing but they were either left out entirely or merged with other events that took place and the ending was changed quite significantly from the book and felt kinda rushed, if it was not for then then it would of got 10 stars.
All in all a very good film and not to be missed.
