Excellent acting by Leonardo DiCaprio. Film is based on the memoirs of Jordan Belfort. Fi,m is graphic and not for everyone but it had to be to accurately portray Belfort's various addictions. There are some people like him in the real world. Scorcesse did a fine job in this bio, even though some aspects for me a little over emphasized in film which why I can'y give film 5 stars and only 4. Rob Reiner played an excellent supporting role in film. I give this film an "R" rating.
I saw it yesterday and loved it. At first I was apprehensive because of the low ratings but I'm so glad I went. Dicaprio was amazing in this and so funny. We totally enjoyed the movie.
Unbelievable how some idiots who take offence to sex and drugs would not care to read a review and still have the gull to see a x rated movie. Shame on you. Grow a pair, step out of your miserable lives and see that not everyone follows the path of your boring pathetic selves. Acting was incredible, dialogue was hilarious and the storyline had everything from romance to action. Get a grip people.
Great acting thought Rob Reiner was a great supporting actor in film. A lot of naughty stuff and language issues in film; Hard to believe this person actually existed in real life.
Totally sick to think that this is entertainment to anyone. Best thing I did was walk out and get a refund. Total money making junk.
Jordan Belfort, failed meat packer, was briefly on Wall Street. I'll bet he's hugely entertained at this fantasy, supposedly true pornographic nonsense. I despise this movie. Long, boring, repetitive pap. No stars.
I loved the movie, yes it has sex and some words not suitable for children but this is an adult movie!!! I found it funny and got a kick out of it. Stop being so serious!! It's just fun.
The Boiler Room with no gravitas. Dialog that had me constantly rolling my eyes and moaning. What a sad joke that Scorsese's name is on this abortion.
This was the extreme version of 'BLOW' and 'The Boiler Room' wrapped into one. Wow. Yes, lots of nudity, and a lot of drugs and I was starting to think the characters were going to get away with it as it took too long to start showing consequences (btw DiCaprio voiceover warns you of all that at the beginning so if you stuck around for the 3hrs it's cause the movie was worth watching), but wow..great dialogue and if that's actually based on true events, it blew my mind.
Wow. Based on actual events! I was impressed with everyones 80's / early 90's greed. I started wanting to see the downfall quickly though. It was starting to be just too much fantasy lavish lifestyle to not have consequences happen faster.
