The Wolf of Wall Street

Fri Dec 25th

Genre: Drama

Director: Martin Scorsese

Studio: Paramount Pictures

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Jean Dujardin, Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau, Ethan Suplee, Christine Ebersole

Synopsis: Based on the memoir by Jordan Belfort

revered filmmaker; Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker J. Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). 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.”

Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough.
