The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

 I don't get why Scorsese made this, unless it was just for the paycheck. It adds nothing to his work. It stretches nothing. Don't get me wrong, it's more then competently made, it's Scorsese after all, Leo's always good, Margot Robbie and even Jonah Hill. Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, an unscrupulous stock trader and later motivational speaker, the plot is a cross between 'Wall Street' and 'Goodfellas'. It's a whole lot of decadence, but it doesn't feel like much of an indictment, it revels in it. One of Marty's weaker, less inspired films. Audiences liked it however, more $400 million box office on a $100 budget. I'm torn on a rating, it's a general *** and a Scorsese ** (or lower). So I'm going with **1/2
