This movie enjoys an ingenious writer, brilliant director and a versatile actor! Jordan Belfort is a great story teller and the story line has definitely leveraged the movie. Leo DiCaprio has deeply scrutinized the character and perfectly depicts moments of happiness, craziness and vulnerability of him! I've seen a lot of criticism about the explicit sex and drug scenes which I believe are all irrelevant. Remember that the director is preserving the reality and that's the truth about Belfort whether you like it or not! I was very impressed by the movie and laughed many many times throughout the film. While laughing, the black comedy genre was explicitly perceived. Scorsese proved that he is a kind of director that is not limited to only few types of movies; Indeed, he is master in making varying type of movies!

Weak Season, Disappointing Ending
16 December 2013
Warning: Spoilers
From what we always experienced with watching Homeland, we all expected Season 3 to have surprising events and to have an unpredictable thrilling plot. However, Season 3 let us all down by having a very casual plot without any surprises. I guess this time, the writers decided to shock the viewers by killing Brody instead of thinking outside the box and coming up with a brilliant and innovative plot similar to previous seasons. Regarding the last two episodes that took place in Tehran, the least expectation from the creators was to consider that Iran is not an Arabic country and the urban architecture is not similar to Arabic middle-east countries. The hotel that Carrie accommodates in has an Arabic architecture not a Persian one. The streets are not even close to real streets in Tehran. Palm trees do not exist in Tehran because of the dry climate. More importantly, the people's accent is Afghan not Iranian. Last but not least, where on earth does a country execute a spy so immediately without any interrogation?! They would at least wait to find out what the spy's mission objectives have been! I was expecting an extraordinary incident to happen so that the viewers look forward to a new season.
