Lots of religious profanity.
Countless uses of other insulting terms related to sexual organs. 

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Constant use of drugs throughout the film,

Frightening/Intense Scenes:  The film is considered a comedy overall; however, it deals with themes such as sex and drug addiction, criminal activities and their negative effects.
During a fight a man slaps his wife and punches her in the stomach when she threatens to take his daughter away from him. He then takes the girl into his car, backs out of the garage quickly and hits a tree. She is not injured but he has a bloody cut on his forehead. The entire scene is intense and can be distressing for some.
A scene where a character begins to choke on some food can be slightly intense.
A scene where a boat is trapped in a hurricane like storm can be intense.


Story: In The Wolf of Wall Street DiCaprio plays Belfort, a Long Island penny stockbroker who served 36 months in prison for defrauding investors in a massive 1990s securities scam that involved widespread corruption on Wall Street and in the corporate banking world, including shoe designer Steve Madden

Likes : Martin Scorsese is one of the best director in the world, this is one of his film's that contains a lot of adult theme content, based on a true story where its easy to become corrupt with power & money.Coning people to make money & get rich fast which goes against ever law in the state, is why this man ended up in prison with a few other men that worked in wall street proving you can escape the law of the F.B.I because they will catch you out sometime down the line.
I'm not much of a Leonardo DiCaprio fan but he's performance in film is spot on, special with this film as he plays Jordan Belfort , Jordan Belfort is the son of Max and Leah Belfort of New York. In 1989, he and Daniel Porush founded the now defunct brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont which became the largest OTC firm in the United States at that time. Jordan and his business partner were charged with 10 counts of securities fraud and money laundering for the stock manipulation of at least 25 companies that Stratton had underwritten.
After serving approximately 22 months in prison he was also ordered to return $100 million to former clients. He reportedly had been earning upwards to $50 million a year during his later years before the Department of Justice in the United States shut his operation down.
Some of this film you kind of find yourself straying a little as it dose get a bit boring at time, but the funny moment's really dose make you laugh special some scene there so ridiculous you can help but laugh i bet the stars film on set couldn't stop laughing after film that scene because Ive never laugh so hard it was to funny.
There is a lot adult content as i said most of it is a gay concept & naked woman, with alot of drug's & alcohol use which is pretty strong in this film but that to be expected in this type of film being rich & powerful.
All in all this wasn't a bad film to watch as i said its has its laughable moment's to dam right stupid moments but as a true story i think they told a pretty true story of the life of Jordan Belfort down to every detail of what he did.This is pretty well scripted with some brilliant performance from all the stars in this film f you a Leonardo DiCaprio fan your like this film.


Dislikes : The slight slow moment can make you kind of stray from the film a bit, i don't like the female abuse because you don't hit woman full stop, i didn't like those scenes, apart from that this isn't a bad film.

Overall : Adult theme's, drug's, drinking. naked woman, funny moments, not a bad film

Rating: 4.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.5 out of 10 for story-line of a true story
