There's this hot new drug called The Wolf of Wall Street, and Leonardo DiCaprio is going to take you there; give you what you need. Trust in him, and success it will proceed.
It's 1987, and Jordan Belfort has just landed a job as a stockbroker at a successful Wall Street firm. Belfort earns his broker's license, eager to begin his new career after being guided by his boss Matthew McConaughey, a tribal-humming money man whose 2 keys to success are: masturbating and cocaine on the daily. Then Black Monday hits, and the firm that promised a lucrative future for Belfort goes under. The wolf then becomes partners with his ambitious, equal-minded neighbor Donnie Azoff (Jonah Hill), to form their own boiler room of selling terrible stocks to those desiring easy money. Determined to take the successful duo down is FBI Agent Patrick Denham (Kyle Chandler), as his investigation into the company reveals stock market manipulation.
Jordan Belfort talks to the camera because he's that sure of himself. All he needs is a 5-10 minute motivational speech to get the staff of his firm Stratton Oakmont to believe that the dollar of every phone call belongs in their pockets. Reading from the script that Belfort has drawn up, his aggressive, yet somehow enticing sales techniques become the firm's bible. Martin Scorsese captures the consumption and greed of the firm by putting the audience in a stylishly, yet controlled addicting atmosphere of drugs, girls, and the rise of an ambitious protagonist and his outrageous lifestyle. Commonplace ideals of proper stimulation and non-stop entertainment are insufficient for Stratton Oakmont. Belfort's guidance and insatiable appetite has his boiler room exhibiting cult-like behavior. When you're hungry like The Wolf, everyone around you has to be just as hungry.
Jonah Hill as Donnie Azoff, Belfort's dependable, crazy-eyed wing man is what Scorsese needed to lighten up all the Wall Street DiCaprio debauchery. Jonah Hill's character is an uproarious success, and equally pretentious counterpart that is truly ride-or-die for DiCaprio. Jonah balances the excess not with reason, but with conviction. The Scorsese twosome are golden together. Leonardo DiCaprio exudes confidence with every breath, and every gesture. New to the screen is the actor's capabilities of using physical comedy to convey a state-of-mind. DiCaprio is mesmerizing to watch, and has outdone his range as an actor portraying real life stockbroker Jordan Belfort. He has utilized aspects of the best of his previous works, molding them into one performance addictive enough to take him higher than he's ever been. What else does this guy have to do to earn painfully deserving Oscar recognition? That travesty aside, DiCaprio's Gilbert Grape stair scene in The Wolf of Wall Street will have you rolling (down with him).
The Wolf of Wall Street is an incredibly entertaining non-stop joyride that I want a season pass to. Martin Scorsese pumps so much energy onto the screen that you don't regret any one minute of the 2 hour 59 minute running time because it is a seamless high concocted by entertainment masters. So consume it.
