Martin Scorsese directs this true story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s earning him the title "The Wolf of Wall Street." Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, more was never enough. (Original Title - The Wolf of Wall Street)

I've watched The Wolf Of Wall Street twice now it's a good film, I highly recommend that you watch it. The film is full of madness, people having a wild time with all the money that they make. The bit near the end of the film where they get wrecked on drugs is funny. Leonardo DiCaprio does a great job & is a good actor.

Personally having had the chance to work for an investment bank between 2008 to 2012 in canary wharf, East London, this movie was a complete surprise and I suppose it may have reflected the view of the public at the time towards the financial services industry in my humble opinion. My view was working along side very competent and smart people who consistently delivered good results to try and and assist the global financial services industry in my humble opinion.

The thing I can't take with this movie is how badly it is made. Not the actors or their play, but the movie itself. Every time the camera angle changes, something goes wrong: the mouth of the person talking doesn't move, or some things are in a different place, or the sleeves are different, etc... I can't watch it again. It was too painful the first time.
