Scorsese lost this in the editing room. Far too long because the film repeats the drugs and sex mentality over and over and over again. Performances are great but cannot redeem this overblown film. The quaalude scene was meant to be funny (I think) but was ridiculously stupid.

Received a lot of nominations and won a number of awards (but no Oscar wins) so I was expecting an awesome film. Critics loved this movie so was hoping this would be a great movie. It started of strong but after 45 minutes it really got repetitive.

Want a good movie about excess and money and how money corrupts? Watch Oliver Stone's Wall Street with Michael Douglas.
