Scorcese's longest and most art-less films

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2013)

WOLF is the most juvenile film I've seen in years full of excessive cursing, female nudity, praise for illegal stock transactions, misogyny, illegal drug use and is not worth the pain of sitting in a theatre for 3 hours, watching this bad, bad film. Fortunately Leonardo di Caprio is in every scene and while his acting is superb, the biography of Max Belfort is not worth his or the director's efforts. Scorcese is now 71 but what happened to his artful directorial style as seen in MEAN STREETS, RAGING BULL, GOODFELLAS and HUGO? Di Caprio deserved an Oscar for Sam Mendes' REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, even TITANIC. But this bloated film full of the above-mentioned excesses is not worth the trouble. I wish I could get back the 3 hrs. I spent NOT being entertained. Dr. Ron Schwartz, Manhattan at www. noir 1937@aol.com
