Leo delivers another thrilling and oscar-worthy role in a three hour (yes, three hour) march through a life of debauchery and criminal activity that has leagues of people falling in line. The movie requires a bit of thicker skin as there is plenty of skin shown and more than a few F-bombs thrown about - if you aren't swayed by these things then you're not going to be put-off by the "vulgar" content alone. There's an undeniable cool to everything here. We've all seen actors doing cocaine off a stripper's body, but those moments are rarely coupled with the threat of a good time at a summer party, only the party takes place everywhere the camera points. I loved this movie, enough that I'd highly recommend it. Its greatest weakness really is run-time. 3 hours was fine for a first-run, but that's Lord of the Rings extended edition territory and there's not nearly as much action here so the time might cause you to wonder "what time is it?" once or twice. See it once at least but, if you're like me, don't worry about seeing it again. It lasts well-enough on a first run that you may never bother with it again. Martin Scorsese gets another one right.… Expand

A few scenes in WoWS are genuinely funny (Leo crawling on Q's) but things like the plane orgy feel diluted and tacked on. The screenplay isn't particularly clever or thought-provoking - Monahan's Departed script, it is not. Sex scenes feel as cheap as the characters - the only redeemable quality to them is the visual sight of beautiful Margot Robbie - but pretty much all the other women in this film are set pieces for debauchery.

That said, the energy here is authentic Scorcese, and although there's little dramatic interest, it's fairly enjoyable on a level of spectacle. No one else is making films like this. Who else can present this material in such a confident, cock-sure manner? I did enjoy the film, but next time, I hope Scorcese can show us something new.… Expand

It's an outrageously awesome film fromMoney. Sex. Drugs. Power. That's The Wolf of Wall Street in a nutshell. Don't be mistaken though that it's a bad thing because it's not. It's arguably Martin Scorcese's best film in quite some time. It's an outrageously awesome film from start to finish and believe me that's a long running time. The movie itself is based on the true story of Jordan Belfort and follows his rise from forming his own company to becoming a wealthy stockbrocker living the high life to his fall due to his involvment in crime, corruption and the federal government. Leonardo DiCaprio is at his best. He delivers a truly majestic performance in his depiction as Jordan Belfort, he's phenominal. You genuinely have to wonder what the man has to do for an Oscar because based on this he is more than worthy of one! Jonah Hill excels as Donnie Azoff. For a man who is a stalwart in comedy his turn here is a masterstroke. He's very convincing and his screentime with Leo is not only memorable but strikes absolute gold! They are a dynamite duo. Margot Robbie has her big screen debut and believe me it's one you won't forget. She's not only beautiful, and believe me that's an understatement, but she delivers a solid performance. There's also noteable performances from Jon Bernthal, Jean Dujardin and Joanna Lumley to mention a few but perhaps most significantly is the role that Matthew McConaughey has. It's small but sensational. He'll have you beating your chest and humming along. Scorcese is on top form. His direction has always been brilliant but this is crudely classic! An absolute must see movie. An outrageous yet exceptionally class film.… Expand

DiBased on the memoir of the same name The Wolf of Wall Street recounts Jordan Belfort's perspective on his career as a stockbroker in New York City and the way in which his firm, Stratton Oakmont, engaged in rampant corruption and fraud.

Di Caprio is as good as ever in the lead role and the rest of the cast, including Jonah Hill and the stunning Margot Robbie, are also excellent. With a running time of three hours it is perhaps a little too long but this movie is genuinely funny and I was entertained throughout. Some have criticised the film for glorifying the criminal lifestyle it aims to satirise, and I can see their point as we never really see the consequences of his actions, but seeing as the idea is to show events from Belfort’s point of view I don’t really have any issue with this personally. Besides when you see what the people on Wall Street still get away with even now there doesn’t really seem to be any real consequences for these people anyway!… Expand

Leo, Jonah, Chandler, Mconoghay, they're all fantastic. Vibrance energy, hutzphah! gallor. They never miss a beat and are always fun too watch. The frentic pace of the film is perfectly complimented by the blaring in your face visual and editing of the film. Coupled with the 4th wall breaking style of narration, it really drags you into the ride. Problem is, the film is an hour too long. Leo's constant energy wears on you. Its so much for so long that you get lost in the ocean that is the wolf of wallstreet. The length also kind of drowns out Chandler. His character is left stuck mostly in the background as if he's more set decor than character. Chandler brings life to the moments he's in, but I just wish part of the three hours I invested spent more time with him, tghey could've cut a drug fueled scene or two for him. The tale is so sprawling that once you watch you seem to agree with its runtime, but when you reconsider, you will realize that you only gave it a pass because its a scorsese film. It's damn fine film, and some damn fine performance, with some great style, but overall it wears on the viewer. Buy it, rent it, netflix it, however you do it it, see it, but chances are you'll prefer it at home with a pause button.… Expand

It's as if you're seeing three separate, individual films--each as brilliant and intoxicating as the previous. Leonardo DiCaprio gives another fine performance, but it is Jonah Hill who turns his "Oscar-face" on once more.

The amazing part about this film is that it is full of debauchery, disgusting acts, and just absolute greed and selfishness, yet I find myself rooting for Belfort and the rest of Stratton Oakmont. I know I am not supposed to, yet I absolutely did. Helmed by the always reliable Martin Scorsese, The Wolf of Wall Street lives up to the hype for me and delivers. It is quite over the top and hard-hitting, sometimes to degrees where it becomes like, "Oh come on," but regardless, it is endlessly watchable. DiCaprio did great as expected and is undoubtably the reason why I sort of aligned myself with Belfort in spite of his horrendous acts of disregard and debauchery throughout. I thought Jonah Hill was good, not great. The real star of the show here though has to be Terrence Winter. The script is impeccable and is truly why this one will live on, as it is quotable at every turn. Not my favorite film turned out by Scorsese, but regardless, it is better than most and one of the best of 2013.… Expand

Don't people realize there is a difference between portrayingThe Wolf of Wall Street is undoubtedly one of the best pictures of the year. I am confused as to why people think the film glorifies and condones Jordan Belfort's actions. Don't people realize there is a difference between portraying something and condoning something? I guess we need sparknotes for movies now. The Wolf of Wall Street is clearly a satire, meant to expose the very culture we live in. That culture is one that yearns to be rich and live excessively. Throughout the film you see how DiCaprio's character is hooked on the excessive lifestyle and can't leave it behind, even when it is necessary for him to avoid prison. Also, we laugh at the film because we know it is ridiculous and absurd behavior and boy did I laugh.

The Wolf of Wall Street, was in my opinion, the funniest movie of the year. DiCaprio, Hill, and the rest of the supporting cast, including Rob Reiner, were fantastic and hilarious. Terrence Winter did a great job of adapting Jordan Belfort's memoir into a cautionary tale about greed and excess. Lastly, Martin Scorsese delivers his best directorial performance in years. I'm not sure yet, if I like The Wolf of Wall Street more than Gangs of New York or The Departed, but it's easily Scorsese's best directorial effort since Goodfellas. You can feel the energy of the film, which is exhilarating and that no doubt is due to Scorsese.

My only complaint about the movie is that the final hour was not as good as the first two. The first two hours were the best I've spent at a movie in years and that is not an exaggeration. The final hour is good, but not excellent like the first two. The problem resides with the screenplay and story, which I feel jumps a little too much towards the end, causing the film to be a little hard to follow at times. The final shot of the film, however, is brilliant and clearly indicates the point of the film, that Jordan Belfort's life is something we want and have to allowed to happen. Maybe after repeated viewings I will see the final hour differently, but it certainly did not detract from my enjoyment o the film.
So my advice, to those of you that have not seen the movie, is to ignore those that say the film is a glorification of immoral behavior because their just simply wrong. The film is CLEARLY a satire, so sit back, enjoy the film, and most importantly, laugh, your supposed to because it indicates you know it's absurd behavior.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Per raccontare la vita sciagurata di Jordan Belfort, Scorsese recupera la struttura di uno dei suoi film migliori in assoluto, ‘Quei bravi ragazzi’. In entrambi i casi, alla base c’è la (auto)biografia del protagonista che racconta la propria parabola esistenziale senza risparmiarsi le peggiori abiezioni, ma lasciando una vaga sensazione di nostalgia per i giorni di gloria a dar l'impressione che il pentimento non sia proprio completo: la sceneggiatura (qui firmata da Terence Winter) la trasforma in un racconto in prima persona, con la voce sopra del protagonista che, d'ogni tanto, si rivolge direttamente allo spettatore guardando in macchina mentre attorno a lui la sua storia procede a ritmo adrenalinico, quell'adrenalina che – grazie ad abbondanti aiuti chimici – sostiene gli insaziabili personaggi che la popolano. Se Henry Hill aveva sempre voluto essere un gangster, Jordan Belfort ha come unico scopo i soldi a qualsiasi costo per fare la bella vita (non per niente, la sua ispirazione è stato il Gordon Gekko de ‘l'avidità è bella’ in ‘Wall Street’): entrambi verranno fregati, alla fine, dalla sensazione di onnipotenza che un'impunità troppo prolungata procura loro, oltre alla perdita del controllo dovuta ai troppi stupefacenti. Belfort è un ingordo: di sesso, alcool, droga e, ovviamente, del denaro che serve a comprarli. Forte di una grande capacità di venditore con un tappeto sullo stomaco, inizia a piazzare titoli spazzatura a sprovveduti piccoli investitori confidando sulla magnetica attrattiva che i soldi facili hanno su chiunque: quando, dal piccolo gruppo di disperati che ha raccolto, la sua società inizia a diventare una potenza grazie anche a commissioni salatissime, comincia una caccia all'investitore istituzionale e, da una posizione in bilico su ciò che è consentito, ci si inoltra sempre più nei territori dell'illegalità, inevitabile calamita per l'attenzione dei federali che - un po’ per testardaggine, un po’ per fortuna – finiranno per incastrarlo. Varie critiche sono piovute sul film perché non mostra le conseguenze delle azioni del protagonista e della sua società, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la gente che ha distrutto i propri risparmi inseguendo i sogni di ricchezza promessi da un pugno di truffatori senza scrupoli: sarebbe però stato uscire dal seminato del racconto, tanto più che, dalle loro azioni, si capisce benissimo che genere di persone fossero Jordan e compagnia (se non bastasse la brutale spiegazione su come funziona il brokeraggio affidata al trasformista McConaughey poco dopo l'inizio). Il giudizio su di loro è difatti spietato, un gruppo di persone moralmente abiette, pronte a bruciare le montagne di soldi malamente fatti in orge propulse da quantità industriali di droghe: i rapporti sessuali, anche di gruppo, e gli intossicamenti vari si sprecano – compreso un corso in Quaalude per chi si fosse perso quello nei romanzi di Ellroy – e non stupisce allora che il film abbia una produzione indipendente, lontana dagli studios. Di questa bella gente, Belfort è il leader assoluto, un avido e spietato bastardo dentro che distorce il mito, molto statunitense, dell'uomo che si è fatto da sé, ma che è una sorta di dio per chi lavora per lui e ne condivide gli ‘ideali’. Interessato solo a se stesso, non si limita a fregare gli sconosciuti clienti, ma chiunque gli stia intorno se solo c'è da guadagnarci in qualche modo: ovviamente fedifrago nei confronti delle due mogli (anche se la seconda ha le mirabili fattezze di Margit Robbie) e, infine, disposto a tradire i suoi soci per scampare una pena ben più dura dei tre anni che gli vengono comminati. Nei suoi panni, DiCaprio – che è stato il motore del progetto – è semplicemente perfetto, dando un'ulteriore testimonianza di una maturazione attoriale ormai compiuta: non da meno è il resto dello smisurato cast, nel quale non si può non sottolineare la bravura di Jonah Hill nei rotondi, esagitati panni del sodale di sempre Donnie. Scorsese racconta le loro avventure puntando sul registro dell'ironia acida piuttosto che su quello del dramma, tenendo alto il ritmo grazie alla serrata scrittura di Winter (sulla quale gli attori sono stati spesso liberi di improvvisare) e a scelte visive che sanno colpire per la loro efficacia, a partire dalla decisione di utilizzare un montaggio irregolare e lenti anamorfiche (la fotografia è di Rodrigo Prieto) quando i personaggi, e in particolare Jordan, sono strafatti. Ne escono così numerose scene da ricordare, ad esempio quando Belfort incontra per la prima volta l'agente Denham (Kyle Chandler) a bordo del proprio yacht oppure tutto il lungo episodio dello sballo da Quaalude. Quest'ultimo dà anche lustro a una terza ora complessivamente più debole e faticosa delle due, al limite della perfezione, che la hanno preceduta: una perdita di ritmo che abbassa di qualche decimale il giudizio complessivo anche per colpa della sconcertante banalità dell'episodio ‘italiano’ .… Expand

One just has toMartin Scorsese' adaptation of the book 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is full of profanity, sex, nudity and unlikeable characters in sleazy situations. However, despite this the film is constantly engaging and often very funny. One just has to get past the initial misgivings that the questionable content throws out there and accept it for the movie it is. An intelligent screenplay allows Scorsese to put his indelible stamp on the material. Some scenes are even reminiscent of 'Goodfellas' and, although the film clocks in at an audacious 180 minutes, the combination of Scorsese's inventive directorial style and Thelma Schoonmaker's slick editing ensure that the film remains compelling to the end.
Key to the success of the film is a fantastic showcase of a performance from Leonardo Di Caprio who, at times, appears to be thoroughly enjoying himself and relishing the comedic antics required of him. His Oscar nomination is thoroughly deserved. Jonah Hill is ok but he is not in the same league. His nomination seems overly generous.
Although not a film for everyone, 'The Wolf of Wall Street' rewards an open mind. It is a film that would stand up well to repeat viewings after the plethora of profanity and sexual situations have been assimilated and accepted within their perfectly appropriate context. Stockbrokers, who may wither under the spotlight, may be amongst those wishing to pass.… Expand

ThisThis new Martin Scorsese's movie made me go speechless, I was absolutely stunned. This was not some random person's life story, it was based on the former stockbroker Jordan Belfort which mostly speaks about the frauds he committed. This movie was presented in a dark comedy like it's supposed to be, mainly because of three stuffs it deals, (1) drugs, (2) sex and (3) money.

Drugs: It was not the first time a Hollywood movie to represent this issue in raw act, but depends on whose movie it was. When filmmakers choose subjects like this they should ready to roll on any challenge that comes ahead so I believe Martin Scorsese did an exceptional job here to depict the truth as it should be.

Sex: It was very strong and kind of shocked to see in a Martin Scorsese movie. Like I said in earlier paragraph no matter what it is the director excelled in this department as well to extract the possible reality.

Money: This is a common theme in world cinema so no surprise the director mastered in this field as well without letting anything behind. But previous two themes from above two paragraphs braced this theme very comfortable blend and reached the crest of the tensed end part of the story.

Does it require to brief about Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill's contribution. Well, both of them were outstanding in their respective roles. And great supports from second stream actors and cameo appearances from various top profiles. The successful collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio continues to the next level. Hope this pair gives an another remarkable product in near future. Until then goodbye from me, I mean meet you in my next review and thank you for reading this. Cheers.… Expand

But I had a very good time when watching it and was consistently entertained. All of the cast give good performances, Leonardo Di Caprio especially as the central character Jordan Belfort AKA the Wolf of Wall Street, and Jonah Hill is surprisingly good in one of his first non comedic roles. However the main and most obvious reason why The Wolf of Wall Street is so entertaining is because of how outlandish and crazy close to every scene is. In places you almost forget that it's based on true events. From the immature conversation between Belfort and his mentor, played brilliantly by Matthew McConaughey, to the hilarious but quite juvenile night where Di Caprio and Hill get the strongest high known to man, it is ridiculously entertaining. And also worryingly enjoyable due to the extreme amount of sex, nudity, violence and drugs much like the far wittier 2013 movie Don Jon. Overall The Wolf of Wall Street will keep you interested through its whole runtime despite it being 3 hours long, but may repel some more sensitive viewers due to its mature content.… Expand

I give the edge to American Hustle as the more enjoyable picture, and plot by a little. Gravity isn't even in the same league (that was a total POS). Having just seen Grand Budapest, I am grateful we still have Scorcese to show how movies should be made, even though it's not his best work....it's still good.… Expand

My first thought afterwards was ' wow a lot of people, particularly men, are going to walk away from this and say "yeah I wanna be a stock broker too"! regardless of the message told through this movie '. Admittedly I felt the same way,My first thought afterwards was ' wow a lot of people, particularly men, are going to walk away from this and say "yeah I wanna be a stock broker too"! regardless of the message told through this movie '. Admittedly I felt the same way, especially seeing Jordan Belfort and his colleagues enjoying themselves so much. I mean c'mon booze, hookers, lavish parties, drugs, good times, who doesn't want that; at least a little bit?

But that's the hook all sales jobs promise: if you work hard, don't be discouraged by failures and have the ambition to succeed then you will. Because everyone can be a millionaire right? Wrong. Not everyone can be otherwise millionaires would be everywhere. Truth is you can bust your guts and you may not make anywhere as much as you desired. Big bosses need bums in seats to make them money not you.

And that's exactly what Jordan Belfort does. He even admits this during the film. Of course the commission paid to his workers made them a decently living but the real income goes to Belfort. And he makes a lot! To much to know what to do with.

Through all the funny situations (and there is plenty of those) we see Belfort and co. reveling in greed and success. This obvious draws the attention of the law and it's their stupidity that becomes their undoing, despite some very lucky turns of fortunate beforehand.

The first lesson I learned from this movie is to name your price and get out when you reach it. That's what a strategically minded investor would do instead of being greedy.

The second lesson is if you're doing something illegal and you draw attention to yourself you will get caught eventually. Not if but when.

It does have some shortcomings. For the sake of entertainment what they actually sell and how they do it is glossed over because the focus is upon what happens, not why. I also didn't like the pace of the film as it has so much to tell a lot of it is rushed, which explains why they gloss over details for the sake of timing.

This is a thoroughly entertaining movie about making money that has more relevance in this decade than prior films before it.… Expand

Maybe the length of the movie will be too much for some, but I feel that is granted considering that the characters are basically jerks that treat women like objects so this is something that must always be handled with care because some audiences can, again, be offended, the beginning is a little clumsy because of the dialogue however, but I still enjoyed this movie.… Expand

Following the rise and fall of a wealthy Wall Street banker, we get to see the type of life the film's main character lived. This is DiCaprio's best role thus far, and he eats up every single scene he is in. The supporting cast is great, the direction is great, and the script is fantastic. This movie is rather divisive due to it's subject matter. It is a very vulgar movie filled with sex,drugs and deplorable behavior. I did not have a problem with this as Scorsese doesn't glorify what you see on screen. You see the benefits and negatives of this type of lifestyle. This film's 3-hour runtime is sure to scare away many viewers,but rest assured:The movie flies like a breeze. The 3 hours fly by due to how much fun the movie is. Is it perfect? No. But it is one of the best movies of 2013, and quite possibly by favorite.Excellent film.… Expand

Its no secret that there are investor victims associated with Belfort and his ilk. So why make another work about THAT?! Instead Scorsese wisely provokes us with a portrayal of a modern day Caligula. Belfort is an obscene voracious mad(sales)man, but more interesting is that it takes a mass of 'everyday people' (and deregulation perhaps) to let that kind of wild predation happen. Scorsese hedges a bit but subtly reminds us that too many of us would, by choice or necessity join Belfort. It seems like the film was mostly repeated scenes of Belfort in the office, mic in hand electrifying his vast army of hungry brokers! Sitting in the theater WE become Belfort's audience.

It feels soWhat's a great year in film without a little controversy. Said controversy comes in the form of 'The Wolf of Wall Street'; which reunites master filmmaker Martin Scorsese and actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, after a one film hiatus. It feels so long. Anyway, DiCaprio gives a stellar performance as Jordan Belfort, a real life New York stockbroker who ran a firm that engaged in securities fraud and corruption on Wall Street in the 1990's. There was much talks about the film and the way it glorifies the explosive, hedonistic ways of the wealthy one percent. But despite all the "coolness" we are seeing on the screen, is it indeed a glorification or simply a backhanded representation of these drugged out, sex crazed "fiends". Terrence Winter's expletive laden script, was darkly hilarious! I call this the funniest film of the year. The screenplay was incredibly smart and builds a band of memorable characters; with due credit to Scorsese's direction and the supporting cast's (and ofcourse Leo's) electric performances. However I did take a little issue with the length of the story which wielded a staggering three hour run-time on film. Detailing the meteoric rise and fall of the infamous stock broker was a meteoric accomplishment for Scorsese and his usual editor Thelma Schoonmaker. There collaboration made every minute of those three hours entertaining and memorable; very good work. 'The Wolf of Wall Street' was a lot of things; sharp, crude, funny and possibly even iconic. One thing is certain, it was awesomely entertaining.… Expand

Leonardo Di Caprio, a favorite of mine, took everything he has learned from his blonde innocent locks in Titanic to his Lucretius and neck- wringing performance in Django Unchained. But here, every murmur, every breath is pure brilliance. It is definitely Martin and Leo's best work together yet. Jonah Hill also grants me with joy, but does not surprise me. Because I know, that he is one of the best actors to ever come from his stereotypical down-faults. He makes this character so real, so fresh, so high. The only thing that keeps this film from a perfect 10 score, is it's potential, but stays on a pretty opaque path throughout. The character growth of Jordan and his associates are grand, in the beginning, but never has a real second growth after they reach their American Psycho aficionado stage. I digress, 9/10.

TheThis movie was down right incredible as far as I am concerned. The bad reviews, in my opinion, stem from a lack of understanding of the core intent of the film and an oversensitivity to the various topics touched in the throughout. The definition of satire is "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues" (straight off google). How can you claim that this film doesn't fit that definition? Yes, it's a controversial issue, its hard not to offend people (all satires offend at least some people), but to say that its promoting drug use, greed, sexual fantasies, misogyny, etc. is ridiculous and just suggests a superficial interpretation of the film (which never bodes well for a satirical piece). Anyway, now that I'm done ranting, I thought DiCaprio and Jonah Hill were incredible, I thought the dialog was hilarious, and there are few satires that I genuinely feel are this well executed. My one gripe is that the last 30 minutes dragged on a little slowly, but I still felt like those moments were necessary to come to a proper conclusion. So to those of you who have yet to see it, please do not interpret everything so literally, everything is over-the-top for a reason. I hope you enjoy this work of art as much as I did.… Expand

I really had a great time watching this film; it's fun and crazy at the same time. I even laughed out because it got some damn great things that I totally enjoyed to watch. The Wolf of Wall Street truly got me of guard; I didn't expect this film to be so realistic and incredible. I even felt a bit emotional, because some of the events in the film truly illustrate how life can be; it can be fun but also terrible. Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort is flawless, and the main cast are incredible. This in combination with a great story results in a fantastic and realistic film, but it got some downsides. One thing is that the second part of the film is less funny, and the tempo is also a bit slower. The movie overall could have had even more entertaining things, it could have resulted in a higher grade from my perspective! The last thing is the ending, there's nothing wrong about it but it could have been more exiting or thrilling maybe.

The Wolf of Wall Street is a **** wild film, and I really recommend everyone to see it!

Rating: 4/5 The fifth collaboration between Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, The Wolf of Wall Street tells the trueThe Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Directed by Martin Scorsese; Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Rob Reiner

Rating: 4/5

The fifth collaboration between Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, The Wolf of Wall Street tells the true story of the rise and fall of Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), a New York stockbroker who made it big in the wake of the financial crisis of the late ‘80s by shady and frequently illegal means. More interesting is what he does with his new found fortune: what follows is a heady tale of excess and debauchery based on Belfort’s own memoirs.

Despite the more recent financial turmoil, or perhaps because of it, the image of the ‘80s stockbroker has resurfaced for a new generation. Belfort’s story strays into the early ‘90s, but the general aesthetic of the era has the same nostalgic feel, and the messages seem to be the same. Even if we openly loathe bankers, there’s a voyeuristic fascination in watching their decadent lifestyle – or what we imagine such a lifestyle to be like: high stress, fast living, dubious morality and plenty of drugs and sex to boot. The Wolf of Wall Street gives its audience a welcome window into this world.

The story begins when Jordan arrives in the city as a bright eyed, newly qualified broker; having already achieved his youthful dream of working on Wall Street. After an initially unwelcome brief induction into a life of cocaine and lunchtime cocktails by his new boss Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey) the rug is pulled out from under his feet, and he soon swaps blue chips for penny stocks, trading shares worth a fraction of a dollar from a Long Island brokerage on a strip mall.

Upon realising that these unlisted stocks can fetch a much higher commission than blue chips, he decides to go into business with a bunch of unscrupulous buddies who know a thing or two about sales, using their silver tongues to make millions by trading them on a massive scale, all the while trying to stay one step ahead of the law. For in truth he is committing outright stock fraud – the details of which are fairly complicated; even Belfort himself chooses not to bore us with the details with his tongue in cheek narration.

The stellar cast is rounded out by players including Jonah Hill, as Belfort’s toothy associate Donnie, Rob Reiner as his complicit accountant father Max Belfort, and Jon Favreau as lawyer Manny Riskin.

The movie treads a thin line between satire and glorification, but Jordan is undoubtedly the hero of the piece, and the FBI agents on his trail the antagonists he must outwit. As an audience, we are invited to his party, and we witness nothing of the effects that Belfort’s deceptions have had on those who were duped into buying his shares – bearing in mind these ‘customers’ are average people parting with their savings, not huge companies dealing in huge sums of money. This disconnection effectively puts us in Belfort’s shoes: much as they must have appeared to him, they are mere voices on the end of a phone.

But Jordan is not portrayed as completely heartless. No matter how large his company grows, swelled with a never-ending number of skilled and promising applicants, his loyal gang of hometown reprobates are never left behind, and maintain high-ranking positions until the end. Even when arrested, and forced to wear a wire by the FBI, he attempts to warn Donnie, rather than let him incriminate himself.

Gratuitous drug use and sexual content aside, the film’s vulgarity can perhaps be summed up by its smashing of the record for the most uses of the f-word in a mainstream non-documentary film, at the rate of around three a minute. The only film scoring higher is a documentary devoted to the word.

Much of the decadence is played for laughs, or at least as a showcase of extravagance, but coupled with the basic shock value of the actions themselves. One memorable sequence sees Belfort snorting cocaine to counteract the effects of a powerful sedative, paralleled with the Popeye cartoon playing on the television in the background.

The film does little to condemn Belfort – although his lifestyle unravels, and he is ultimately incarcerated, any true comeuppance is minimal. This is a reflection of the truth: Belfort’s sentence was just four years, of which he served less than two, which, if the film is to be believed, were in a comfortable minimum security environment for white collar offenders.

These days, he still makes a handsome living as a motivational speaker lecturing on sales technique, and of course, anyone who gets their autobiography made into a Scorsese picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio must have lucked out in the long run.… Expand

Wolf of Wall Street has what will probably be the best acting that we will ever see out of Leonardo DiCaprio, and has a very well cast group of supporting actors. The plot of this movie doesn't function like a normal plot, it's much longer, and is more of a telling of Jordan Belfort's life than anything else. The characters aren't supposed to be connectable, that's not really the point, they're supposed to be trash. There are no heroes in this movie.
This movie isn't for everybody, it might be a little "crude" for some people if your only reaction to a swear in dialog is a gasp and grasping of the chest, but if you have the sense to come into this movie with the right mindset, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.… Expand

It's a 3-hour long film about corruption and fraud on Wall Street, featuring plenty of instances of drinking, drug use, sex, and curse words, so much so that a lot of people are bound to get ticked off by the film. And what I mentioned doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what made the film so controversial. And yet, as controversial as it may be, the film is still fantastic. It's well-directed, well-written, funny, and it features fantastic performances, notably from Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie. I will warn that it's not for everyone, and if you don't feel like sitting through three hours of drinking, drugs, sex, cursing, corruption, scandal, fraud, and every other controversy you can think of, you might want to skip out on this one for something with a little less debate to it, but all things considered, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is an extremely memorable and well-constructed film that should stick with you long after you watch it.… Expand

Filled with more sex, nudity and drugs than a normal film. TWOWS is a fascinating true tale of Jordan Belfort, whose megalomania led to his epic downfall.

Jonah Hill also makes this movie very humorous. A lot of foul mouthed, drug using , hooker renting "penny stock" sellers make it big on a ponzi scheme. There is a lot of foul language which might bother some and the drug use is non stop. Overall a great start to the year in movies with Scorcese flick...hopefully there are more like this.

Directed by Martin Scorsese, if The Wolf of Wall Street is a film focusing on the excesses, luxuries, and activities of living a worry-free life. If Wolf would have been made as a drama it might have been unwatchable. There is simply too muchDirected by Martin Scorsese, if The Wolf of Wall Street is a film focusing on the excesses, luxuries, and activities of living a worry-free life. If Wolf would have been made as a drama it might have been unwatchable. There is simply too much of everything happening at an extremely fast pace. However, Scorsese and screenwriter Terence Winter came up with the genius idea to make the movie a comedy. It’s one of the most entertaining films ever created about selfish, repugnant men. Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, a wealthy stockbroker, The Wolf of Wall Street depicts Belfort’s rise to living an extravagant, frivolous life and his fall into crime, deceit, and corruption.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance outdoes all the roles in his entire acting career. This is an excessive film for people who love to indulge in excessive lifestyles. From the opening scene, which features a room filled with coked-up, stockbroker meatheads throwing dwarves at a bull’s-eye, to the scenes of shady financial shenanigans, this fast-paced film is hell-bent on making audiences grit their teeth while sitting in the theater.
To be clear: this is not a family movie. Do not go see it with your parents—unless everyone is prepared for an awkward three hours.
Belfort tried and failed to establish himself on Wall Street in the traditional way under the guidance of an extravagant sleazeball character played by Matthew McConaughey. Belfort was laid off when the stock market crashed in 1987, but he reinvented himself through a small, start-up penny stock company. From here, Belfort was able to give it the name Stratton Oakmont in order to gain the trust of middle- and upper class citizens.
Belfort and his new company specialized in artificially blowing up the value of worthless stocks and selling them to clients for big profits. Shortly after this, the value of the stock dropped dramatically and the investors lost large sums of money. This, however, was how Belfort began to make and build his name on Wall Street—leading to the extravagant lifestyle seen every five minutes throughout the movie. The only thing that matters to Belfort is making one more dollar.
Wolf is one damn thing after another for the full three hours. Once the audience is expecting the characters to lay low for twenty minutes, another binge-drinking, drug-taking, prostitute party takes place. It is a movie about appetites whose own appetite has a desire for compulsive, bottomless pleasure. It’s amazing (and disturbing) to think that the audience can watch this film for the full three hours and still find the characters’ actions to be fascinating and entertaining.
Belfort indulges in just about every crude, sexual, drug-related activity a screenwriter could possibly think to include in a movie. Belfort does it in such an obscene and outrageous way that the audience can’t help but to be completely engulfed by him and his actions throughout the film. Yes, the film pushes the limits of societal morals, and it is geared toward and favored by a higher percentage of men than women, Wolf uses its comedic aspect to engage the audience and make audience members get lost for a few hours in a world completely unlike their own.
There is a tale of Belfort’s excessive greed, lust, and sexuality. However, the film ends with Belfort getting paid to make motivational speeches, which allows him to somehow escape the judgment he otherwise would face.… Expand

This is Black Comedy and very good at it. If nudity, drug taking plus disrespect to women, palsy sufferers, etc. worries you that much, don't go. Pick a Jane Austen film adaptation.

The movie has a message but if you need to think about itThis is Black Comedy and very good at it. If nudity, drug taking plus disrespect to women, palsy sufferers, etc. worries you that much, don't go. Pick a Jane Austen film adaptation.

The movie has a message but if you need to think about it by the end, then you need help. This is based on true events and the film follows the book in many scenes. So no point in saying it's vulgar, that is in many ways the point of the movie. If the story wasn't sensational and REAL, then the film would be meaningless.

On the negative side, I was disappointed that there was not more made of Jordan's personal relationship with his wife. Given the movie was half and hour too long it was probably not possible to fit anything else in.

Great film for those that like the dark arts......… Expand

Martin Scorsese is ‘back’ and more prevalent than ever. Not that he ever really left, his recent films Hugo, Shutter Island, The Departed etc. have all been fantastic and full of Scorsese, but The Wolf of Wall Street truly reverberates the man we love. There are vast swirling sets, sweeping cameras, explosive/implosive characters, assertive narratives told with an expressive pace, brimming bag of laughs and a wicked sense of underlying controversy. Scorsese is truly extraordinary at understanding and communicating his visual language: cinema.

“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.” Ray Liotta as Henry Hill at the start of Goodfellas is distinctively comparable to Di Caprio’s Jordan Belfort’s opening confession: “The year I turned 26, I made 49 million dollars, which really pissed me off because it was three shy of a million a week.” Both characters can be interpreted as zealous apprentice wise guys. Belfort and Hills’ journeys are strikingly similar, though Belfort is in the stock market as a supercharged salesman on Wall Street and Hill is pursuing ruthless trades with gangsters on the street in Brooklyn. They both learn the ropes early on, initially innocent. This is soon surpassed by a fast rise through the ranks and become fixated with work, drugs and girls. Who would have thought gangsters and brokers would be so alike?

What everything boils down to for Belfort, is tasting the sweet smell of success. But, like most over-their-head entrepreneurs, he can’t get enough of the taste, even when he knows the feds are beginning to tread on his back. Lets talk about Di Caprio’s performance here for a second, mind-blowing. It could be the performance of his career, but that can be said for most Di Caprio performances, he is a great actor. However, as Belfort, Di Caprio has really unleashes a charismatic turn as he swings and swaggers through the frame. He was as invigorating and magnetic as Al Pacino playing Tony Montana in Scarface.

Of course, the soundtrack is entertaining and always tipping and topping and the editing is high-powered and frenetic making all the hustle and bustle seem ten times as ferocious. Thelma Schoonmaker, Scorsese’s long-term editing partner, has some interesting comments to say in this February’s issue of Sight & Sound. “Marty’s guiding principle in all his films is to never tell the audience what to think, but to make them engage with what they’re seeing and hearing.” As I touched upon earlier, this is Scorsese letting us engage in his visual language how we see fit, he is a master and commander of visual communication.

There is a particular scene in the film that I wish to note in this heady review. It involves Di Caprio dragging his face along a concrete floor and rolling down a flight of steps, literally. I won’t explain why, but it has to be the most hilarious scene I can ever recall seeing in cinema. “Marty was delighted to see that the actors could all improvise beautifully, and so he made the daring choice to give them lots of freedom to do that.” (Schoonmaker). Most certainly! The improvisation in this film gives it a fresh outlook whilst retaining a remarkably existent presence.

Lastly, it is important to recognize that this film is an absolute rarity for Hollywood. The Wolf of Wall Street should be cherished and watched over and over, with laughs becoming ever greater. It is a bold screwball comedy about the state of America, then and now, and it is, therefore, not your typical Hollywood package. And, neither is a three-hour film where every frame and beat is wild and virile with a lifetime’s accumulated genius.

If this film came out in 2013, it would be side-by-side with the other three-hour epic at my number one spot, Blue is the Warmest Colour. Lets hope there’s something else this year that can match the wolf; I’m looking in your direction 12 Years a Slave.… Expand

As a film, this movie does the same thing. It is shockingly outrageous as it follows his story of corruption, greed, sex, drugs, and other terrible things. The amazing thing is that this movie does all this in all the right ways to make a movie that will blow you away and leave you thinking about it after the credits. I cannot talk about anything else without mentioning Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as the main character. He is absolutely phenomenal, and this film just adds to all the other career-defining performances he has done. He perfectly captures what this man in real life was. Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, and Rob Reiner also do amazing performances. All the others did fine jobs, but some characters were underdeveloped. Seeing this man's journey felt extremely powerful over this 3 hour long film, but it moves at such a quick rate that it comes out as even more entertaining. With that quick pace, though, it adds minor plot holes to the film, but there nearly non-noticeable. The drama is amazingly done, along with the sharp-as-blades writing. Yes, this film is very, very brash and/or repulsive, but it makes sense with the story for it to just show how corrupt Belfort's and the people he worked with lives were. The film also sprinkles in a little bit of humour, but I wish it were a larger portion of the movie. The Wolf of Wall Street will go down as one of Martin Scorcese's best films, along with one of DiCaprio's best performances ever. The minor flaws are so overshadowed by the rest of the amazements. It is, without a doubt, one of the best films of the past decade.… Expand

Clockwork Orange, Goodfellas, and Blues Brothers are are some great examples that got the thumbs down by the hierarchical command structure that runs cliche hollywood.

After sitting through critic darling movies like Dallas Buyers club and Goodfellas/Boogie Nights wanna be movie American Hustle I was throttled by The Wolf of Wall Street. It shows us the good and bad executed in a way that the people who make movies say 'holy *$#$' how can I make a movie like that. The mixing of the music and the performances were way ahead of their time and even Kubrick would've been amazed by this future master-work film.

So if you like the predictable cliche endings and like to stay in the boundaries watch this movie five years from now when all the copycat directors reverse engineer this future cult classic. Then you can join the crowd that say. 'Oh I didn't like it when it first came out but now I like it a lot'. In the meantime for your cowardice and lack of vision you can go work in McDonalds.… Expand

A great film which filled me with laughter and excitement. One of Leo's greatest movies. My girlfriend and I agree this movie deserves an 8 out of 10.

The passion with which DiCaprio enacted the roll of Jordan Belfort is simply amazing. He and the movie deserved the Oscar if Dallas Buyers Club and 12 Years a slave was not there for the competition.

Review:
Pros: There were some funny bits. The story does draw one in. Cons: Oh! The depravity of this film! Wanton nudity and sex! Leaves a terrible taste in the mouth.Prior to watching this: I went to see because my friends wanted to.

Cons: Oh! The depravity of this film! Wanton nudity and sex! Leaves a terrible taste in the mouth. Di Caprio was over-acting here, like he usually does, and so was Hill. The whole film seemed over-done.
4/5 - Good enough to pay and watch it in the cinema.… Expand

DiCaprio está sublime interpretando la vida de un hijo de perra tan alocado. La trama es muy divertida y no hay un solo minuto sin tacos, sexo y drogas. Posiblemente es la última locura que Scorserse quería rodar, y le ha salido genial. La mejor película del 2013.… Expand

It is massively hilarious, and is a bold representation of a man on a twisted, ecstasy like odyssey to corporate greed and addiction.… Expand

Sex, Drugs, and Stocks. Director Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf Of Wall Street" tells the eccentric yet true story of Jordan Belfort along with his wealth infused, drug addled escapades. In other words, It's complete debauchery from beginning to end.

Это просто, мать его, шедевр. Был серьезно удивлен, узнав, что фильм идет 3 часа, но они пролетают как один. Черный юмор наивысшего качества и интересная (для незнакомых с историей Белфорта) сюжетная линия. Редкий случай, когда не можешь неЭто просто, мать его, шедевр.
