Powerful story
This movie is so powerful, whether you believe in God and faith or not. To see his dedication to his faith and God, even at the risk of his own life, it is just awe-inspiring, and then at the end finding out it was based on a true story is just incredible! I am a Christian and I cannot wait to meet him when I get to heaven.

Powerful Drama based on real events
A dark drama based on true events of police brutality in Detroit in the late 60's. The cast is very good. The story is fascinating, even more so based on true events. For that reason disturbing and shocking. It's a little long but well worth your time for a story that will stay with you long after the credits.

Hilarious black comedy based on the true story of Jordan Belfort and his journey to riches through nefarious means.
Leo should have received the Oscar for his portrayal here as it is believable and wide ranging.
Jonah hill plays his sidekick with keen wit, but it's Matthew McConaghey's brief but powerful turn with added improvisation that stands out.

A powerful story
I'm a little divided about this film. On the one hand it's a very powerful and moving story with some rather brutal and shocking scenes, and a very relevant and important true story to tell. However it's also not executed to the best it could be.
It starts off fairly slowly and aside from some stand out scenes, the film very rarely picks up. The acting is good but for me there was nothing outstanding from anyone (and Nicole Kidman's unmoving face still disturbs me). And the ending whilst heartwarming in a way feels like a bit of an anti climax. This is an interesting and slightly disturbing story that is quite good, I just wish that it had been better executed.
