Wolf of Wall Street movie review.

The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 black comedy film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the true story of Jordan Belfort(played by Leanardo DiCaprio), a New York stockbroker in the 1990s. Belfort starts with aim to be sucessful and become rich. By his early twenties Belfort had achieved excess success as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont and had earned himself the title "The Wolf of Wall Street". Belfort is joined by his wolfpack in this adventure at the top end of wall street. Belforts firm is involved in securities fraud and corruption, and also has trouble in his personal life with the temptation of money,power,drugs and women all coming into play.

  This is a movie that i believe had the potential to be much better, with an exciting storyline and top actors, Leanardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill for example. But to be honest i found the movie disappointing for the hype around it. Saying this there were some hilarious moments and excellent scenes, just in moderation. I also felt the movie dragged on a bit, with a running time of 2 hours 59 minutes. Overall it is not a movie i would particularly reommend and I would give it a rating of 7.3/10.
