Plot: The movie tells the story of Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker, who loses his job in a Wall Street firm, then he starts working in a boiler room brokerage firm, which is specialized in penny stocks (“common stock, usually highly speculative, selling for less than a dollar a share.”), when Jordan starts working there he starts getting a small fortune, because of the high commissions and his style. Then he befriends with Donnie Azoff and they start their own company, which is called “Stratton Oakmont”, in no time they start to get lots of money, and with the money comes a lot of power, and with great power comes great responsibility.

My Opinion: I didn´t like the movie so much. The movie is very repetitive, I mean, it´s got like 10 minutes of story the rest is just drugs and sex, but, it´s very interesting seeing how they got so much money and it´s really cool to see how money changes people.

Did you know? : The movie is actually based on real events.
