Gordon Gecko on steroids

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Directed by Martin Scorsese this film based on real events stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie and Kyle Chandler. A young stock broker wants to make it big and does so by setting up a firm making questionable trades.

Right from the off this film is hilarious, playing the debauchery and dark humour to the maximum. The plot not only looks at the greed of Wall Street but also highlights how it is pervasive through society as a whole. As with any Scorsese film the direction is at minimum accomplished and often excellent with a 3 hour run time never seeming too long thanks to the direction as well as some great performances.


5/5
