Leonardo Di Caprio is broke as hell and needs a job to fund his new marriage, yay for him. He gets a job on wall street working for Matthew McConaughey as a stock broker. Matthew opens Leos eyes to a world of depravity which Leo adopts as his own and embarks on a crazy ride consisting of drugs, alcohol, money and more drugs. He starts his own stoke broker firm and makes a bucket load of money that attracts none other than Donna from neighbours?!? and Jonah Hill. He then spends three hours, roughly, completely coked up to the eyeballs, sleeping with whomever he comes across and generally breaking many, many laws.
This film is completely knackering from start to drug addled finish. It begins at a relatively normal pace but within 5 minutes it slams the accelerator to the floor and seemingly ignores the fact a brake pedal even exists. Believe me however when I say that this is as far from a bad film as you could possibly get. Leo is brilliant in the lead role and is by far one of todays greatest actors and he has also managed to find himself backed up by an outstanding support cast. Jonah Hill continues to prove that he actually can act beyond being the slightly large, slightly rude pothead of his early films; Matthew McConaughey is electric in his albeit short screen time and Margot Robbie (Donna from neighbours) is outstanding and off the back of this deserves to be cast again and again. When I said this film is tiring I meant for the audience also. At the end I felt physically exhausted and this was amplified due to the fact it is a true story. This guy actually existed and actually did everything in the film, wow. I loved the film and it was possibly one of the most unique and greatest films I have ever seen.
P.S. I also want to run like lions, tigers and bears.
Verdict: 5/5
