Based on Jordan Belfort's best-selling memoir, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the Wall Street fat cat whose penchant for drugs and crooked stock deals took him from the high life to a prison cell. Jonah Hill puts in what looks like another solid supporting turn as his partner Donnie Azoff, no slouch in the debauchery department, either.
The major hurdle Scorsese had to overcome was editing down what was said to be an extremely long cut of the film, but apparently he didn't do all that much because the running time clocks in at 2 hours and 45 minutes. So you might want to go to the bathroom beforehand and stock up (pun intended!) on snacks.
