Four Popcorns

"The Wolf Of Wall Street"
One Popcorn

Genre: Dramma
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler

Rating: R

Comment: Martin Scorsese unplugged! One hour too long. Three hours of WAY over the top obscene drugs, sex and greed. DiCaprio does give a masterful performance. However, this picture is an uncomfortable "entertainment" binge.
