Review

"The laughs are merciless and nonstop, every one with a sting in its tail."--Rolling Stone"...it's the director's raunchiest, funniest film yet."--Newsday"...a delirious, manic, push-the-limits comedy of gaudy amorality that tests the audience's taste."--New York Daily News

Summary

Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort. From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late '80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title 'The Wolf of Wall Street.'
