The movie is about scummy Wall Street businessmen that make a lot of money. Except for the main character, almost everybody else is worthless: the men aren't interesting or funny or original or important or inspiring or good looking. They are aggressive, uneducated scum who spend most of the time snorting coke, falling over, and yelling YEAAAAH !!! and FUUCK !! The women, if in a speaking role, are gold-diggers. The rest are prostitutes.

Why do we need three hours of their orgies is beyond me. Who cares about these people? The aunt and the FBI guy are the only potentially interesting characters but they get very little space, I guess because the director needed to spend more time on depicting yet another senseless orgy or yet another detailed depiction of effects of drugs.

This would be a total disaster if it weren't for DiCaprio who gives a captivating performance of the main character. He's energetic and convincing. Too bad his talent is wasted on a character of a money- embezzling, drug-addicted salesman surrounded by human trash.
