Review - The Wolf of Wall Street

Now not many films start with a blow job and snorting cocaine off a strippers ass in the first 2 minutes of the movie.  As with all Scorsese movies he is never going to hold back from controversy and seems very afraid of the edit suite, but The Wolf Of Wall Street in its 3 hours pushes those boundaries as far as they can go. It is though wonderful story telling and has the quality and message that only Marty can deliver.we associate with Scorsese.


Its is an amazing, sex and drug fueled blast through the excesses of the 80′s and 90′s. The greed of one man and his money making cult, clearly taking Wall Street on a few notches.  Its visually stunning, and morally reprehensible.  


It is funny, and tragic, and a wonderful movie.  Jonah Hill is amazing again.  Joanna Lumley elegantly steals the scenes she has. Leo will undoubtedly be on the best actor of the year list with this performance.  It is masterful and might finally get him his Oscar to follow up on this weeks Golden Globe win.

At 3 hours this is a movie commitment and test of your cineplexs seats not often seen anymore.  It never feels long however as the pace doesnt drop. 
It was a shock to come out the cinema and find it was dark.

I admit, I am not a Leo fan, so the fact I recommend this movie show what a shift he puts in on this.
