This movie could have gotten the point across in 2 hours or less. Yes, the main character was scoundrel and did participate in all manners of debauchery. Showing so much of this misbehavior was very redundant.

The soul purpose of this film was to showcase one thing and one thing alone-Leonardo DiCaprio. In my opinion his acting was over the top. It was not genuine. He was playing to the Academy. Not to mention the story had been done in a reverse angle many years ago in the movie, "Boiler Room."

Next we should expect the same tale told again from the viewpoint of the victims of the main character's fraudulent stock market dealings.

Not impressed at all.
