CGiii Comment
It's 3 hours long!!!
The first hour has its moments.
The second starts to drag.
And...the third - if you are still watching - is a complete disaster.
DiCaprio turns in a high octane performance as the repugnant Jordan Belfort...the extravagance and indulgence of [both] the man and the film are what is quintessentially wrong with Hollywood...
Belfort was [and is] a criminal - and, he is laughing all the way to his Swiss bank with all the money he made by selling his story...to a dribbling and drooling Scorsese.There's a gay butler who has a gay orgy in the house of his employee - and is promptly sacked.
Otherwise, avoid this like the plague...hedonism has never looked so tedious.
