The duo of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio both successfully have created yet another fantastic film in "The Wolf of Wall Street." The capped three hour film revolves around the illegal financial stockbroking company ran by Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) and a few of his friends. The movie keeps your interest through its length as the stellar acting and unusual plot really does draw you in. You keep pondering to yourself that this is a true story and in a way it reminded me of the recent film, "Pain and Gain." However, this film knocks that one out of the park by far. There are some things that occur in the film that you ask yourself how this or that happened, but as those questions are in midair, the following scene takes the question out of the way. There are many questions that you will ask about the story and how it was fulfilled, but I guess that is why Google is at our disposal. Also, I wish that before or after the film, it gave a little more insight on information about the main characters and what happened or happens to them in real life considering it is based on a true story. In my opinion, I think Scorsese wished to leave those questions for the audience to find out. I think this would have completed the film to its' entirety though. Aside from this, the movie is a must see and will be a great contender in the Academy season that is upon us. This film is one of the best films of the year and I highly recommend it, but just use the bathroom before going.
Rating - 4.5/5
