Overrated...

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2014)

As a big fan of Martin Scorsese, I could not miss The Wolf of Wall Street. To my surprise I found the movie not up to my expectations. I will not bother you about the plot as it already on the Info. So to begin with, directing was outstanding. Scenes that would please even the hungriest eyes, amazing visuals and pretty much everything that is expected from Scorsese's directing. Acting was also great with DiCaprio giving a performance of a lifetime trying to convince us about the lust for power and the greed that comes after that which leads to illegal financial actions, drug abuse, prostitutes and uncontrolled parties. Now, for the weakness. Absolutely no plot at all. Routine story, no turnarounds, no fireworks that can twist the plot. Just everything is centered around drugs, prostitutes, abuse of alcohol and dirty money. The whole movie is like a grand drug party. And for most good movies it's not just acting and directing but the plot that gives the good reviews and potentially the Oscars. Overrated...
