The Wolf Of Wall Street

Revered filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title "The Wolf of Wall Street."

Wow!!! This was a hell of a long movie. That's really the only knock I can make against it though. The movie had amazing performances across the board. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill were amazing. You kept going back and forth between despising them and wanting for them to come out on time. The build up from the bottom up and the downward spiral from there was amazingly directed. And the laughs? I had no idea that this would end up being one of the funnier movies of the year between the way the friends talk to each other and a scene of DiCaprio's drug use that might be one of the funniest scenes ever. This is easily one of the best movies of the year.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out. But it is over three hours long so be warned. Also - the R rating is because of ALOT of drug use and nudity. But it really is an incredible movie across the board.
