Biographical or not, this never tried to avoid comparisons to "Wall Street" (simply cranked to eleven). Throw in some "Goodfellas" and "Casino", add a dash of DiCaprio's charm and that's "The Wolf of Wall Street" in a nutshell. I guess I don't really have anything bad to say about this movie - I mean it's Scorsese in the director's chair - but for all of the energy put into scenes of unrepentant debauchery, the movie only really feels alive during a late-hour FBI raid set to a "Mrs. Robinson" cover. And that moment happens all too close to the three-hour mark. I can't imagine sitting through this again.
