Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort this movie show us how greedy and vicious the sub-worlds of financial markets can be. It's like a lions lair waiting for the next victim... Greed for money is above everything and you must do everything to get it, otherwise you can get a job on McDonalds, as it's said in the movie...
I liked the way Martin Scorsese directed this film, but I also agree with some people who say it's a bit long. 3 hours is a bit too much indeed, even to a story like that! But, on the other hand, I did enjoy the aggressive way he built the plot, with lots of explicit scenes of sex and drugs. I think he shows these worlds of corruption and greed in a hard but vibrating way, with great doses of enthusiasm I would say... Well, it did result for me...
Leonardo Di Caprio also does a great job, he really seems like a lion on those speeches!
Besides there are a lot of funny scenes. I can remember so many from sexual dirty jokes to the most silly and pathetic situations. This movie is hilarious at parts! In fact it's one of the main reasons why I score it 8/10...
