One of the best for last!
I didn’t expect to be blown away for my last viewing of
2013, but Director Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street with a
fabulous script by Terence Winter and the usual superb editing of Thelma Schoonmaker
has the non-stop energy and brashness to make it one of the best films of the
year.
Based on the true story of the corrupt stockbroker and
drug addict Jordan Belfort, who bilked clients out of millions in the ‘80s, the
3-hour film moves like lightning with outstanding performances by Leonardo
DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Margot Robbie, Rob Reiner and a host of others.
What makes the film truly great is not that you’re
pulling for Belfort. You’re not. He and his partners are greedy bastards. But, Scorsese’s artistry takes you on a wild
ride to keep you, constantly, enthralled with their bold, outlandish operation
and the fact they got away with it for so long.
The Wolf Of Wall Street is Scorsese
at his best and deserves a 5 out of 5.
