Review of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) by Adhamhany — 02 Jan 2014
Fantastic movie. I didn't know that the awesome duo of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio could pull off a comedy, but apparently they can; and it's hilarious.
It's one of the reasons why Scorsese is such a legend. To be at his age and still create movies, not to mention working in a genre almost entirely new to him, is just amazing.
Leo gives, in my opinion, the best performance of his already storied career. I'm definitely remembering this one for a long time.
Jonah Hill is also funny as hell. And so is the rest of the supporting cast. The plot and script are both riveting.
Perhaps my only problem with the film is the ending. It felt kinda sudden. One second Leo is talking to an audience, and the next it's the credits.
But other than that, it's a Must See. Not even it's long duration (3 hours), was a problem to me. The film wasn't boring in any way. It's a terrific depiction of Jordan Belfort, his rise and fall, and the outrageous lifestyle that he and his friends lived in the 1990s.
