The Wolf Of Wall Street

Cast: Leonardo di Caprio, Jonah hill, Mathew McConaughey, Margot Robbie

Director: Martin Scorsese

Runtime: 179 Minutes

Right from the first scene, you are sure that it is going to be a crazy ride for the three effing hours, and hell yeah you won’t be disappointed. The crazy ride hooks you onto your seat, laughing your heads off scene by scene, by trying to not make any sense, with perfectly crafted dialogues to blow you to bits. The biggest strength is its perfect casting and tight screenplay which doesn’t let you blink away from the plot of the movie.

The movie is based on Jordan Belfort’s life and the plot of the movie centers around him and the securities’ fraud and corruption, through a narrative which takes the story from a rookie wannabe Stock Broker and how his zeal and greed for money makes him achieve all what he did into becoming an accomplished-have-it-all Stock broker and a firm to his credit, of course by not following a straight path to success.

Di Caprio eases into the role like it’s his own flamboyant lifestyle in display. Acting out the scenes, “getting high” from the numerous drugs/weed/what-not or even mere expressions, are done with ease. One scene where he gets high and is almost semi-paralyzed and ahs to get to his car, is brilliantly done making you laugh like you’ve never done before.

Even though the plot centers around di Caprio, mostly every other character occupies solid screen space to show off and ultimately it is the whole package that makes you enjoy the pure fun.

Matthew McConaughey, playing the role of Di caprio’s mentor in the first firm he joins as a stock broker and who actually “advices” him to bring in drugs and prostitution into his lifestyle, steals the film’s initial moments with just his presence. Same can be said about Jonah Hill (Playing the role of Donie Azoff), who plays a supporting role as a partner to di Caprio and impresses you with his comic timing.

The movie runs at breathneck speed giving little respect to any sort of boredom that never creeps in. Director Martin Scorcese with his favorite Leonardo di Caprio brings in a flamboyant and yet-beleivable storyline out to the audience with almost no room for any slips in the journey. It is one of the Funniest movies one will ever see, with a slightly dark overtone and yet delivered with perfection.

I’m going with 4.5/5 for Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street for the pure fun it brings to you.
