Martin Scorsese is the master director of movies that glamorize scumbag criminals without passing judgement on their terrible behaviour. He's (almost) in Goodfellas territory here, featuring a reprehensible-but-charismatic criminal who's too young for all this power and opportunity to do bad things. Perhaps Marty is also showing us a funny version of his own drug-addled past in The Wolf Of Wall Street and perhaps Leonardo DiCaprio is playing closer to his real self than he had before...or has since. What's for certain is that Leo's Jordan Belfort is addicted to money (well, he admits to THAT) and this 530th edition of Have You Ever Seen addresses that and the other MANY addictions of all these crummy characters. The movie is too long and excessive, but Leo and his penny-stock friends are extremely excessive too. It fits. Kudos to all for making this 3-hour motion picture so consistently entertaining. But also, we WILL judge them and truly, F these people.
