Film Review: The Wolf of Wall Street (spoiler free)
So yesterday I had the fortune to see The Wolf of Wall Street. So here is a shorter the my usual reviews, review of it!
Here is the trailer:

So, the story is basically this guy "Jonny" starts from nothing and working his way through the perils of being a broker, eventually makes it big. The film explores his life and tells his story.
My Impressions:
Before I start i want to remind you that it is an age rated 18 film, and believe me it warrants every moment of it. (Ill get onto it more later).
Firstly, do not be put off by the films 3 hour length. I doesn't feel that long while watching it, it's so well written on the most part that the time just flies by! It is well paced and lingers on the correct moments through the film.
The acting by Leonardo De Caprio, is amazing and the same as the supporting cast, but he really makes it. The story is good, but the really could not pick anyone better to act it out. The film addresses some hard truths that the success he gets brings, and because of this it uses sex, drugs and small amounts of violence to make it seem very real (and it really really does feel real). Despite the crazy amount of things they do at time, it never feels like it's not plausible and it is very hard hitting at times. If you don't have a stomach for reality then don't see this film. Once of twice there is full frontal nudity, and there is ALOT of sex and drugs.
Overall, the films is very good. The story and the acting make it, and I feel that on the most part the adult themes are well handled and add to the story, rather than being there as an attraction.
I give it a 8/10!!
Thanks for reading this short review, hopefully I will get a chance to do more better ones in the future! Don't forget to comment with your opinions and questions!
