Summary - Really Great 4.5

Question: What happens when Scorsese tells a tale of debauchery and corruption with a flair of humor and an all-star cast? A new classic! Wolf is one of those ‘so crazy, you can’t make it up’ kinds of stories. A whirlwind of drugs, women, and money. With Long-Island accented perfection, Martin and this veteran crew deliver a story with finely honed and well timed punches of fun and humor. Pervasive craziness, with elements of frat-party in an unfortunately believable setting. This film will keep you hooked, only to be interrupted by fits of belly-laughter inspired by macabre events and the most hilarious ‘east coast guy’ verbally caustic dialog.

Acting - Really Great 4.5

What works better than Jonah Hill and Michael Cera? Jonah Hill and Leonardo Dicaprio! They two mix it up beautifully. The Dicaprio Hill lude-laden phone/drive scene will be etched in my memory for a long time. And bravo Matthew McConaughey (“aaah…ummmm… ahhhh….ummmm”). And where the heck did Margot Robbie come from? Long Island bombshell, with a body to match the attitude! Shall we get in to the others on this rock-star cast? Try Rob Reiner with the classic Bronx-style stress, and Kyle Chandler as the understated Fed. Or, maybe Jon Favreau is more to your liking. I could go on the rest, but you get the idea.

Film - Really Great 4.5

The Wolf of Wall street is the type of movie that keeps me hooked on movies. They type of movie that sends you away with a ‘wow’.

Edge - Sordid 2.7
