"No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough," wrote Roger Ebert. I don't entirely agree -- I've seen plenty of worthy films that could've been improved with a nip and a tuck. Case in point: "The Wolf of Wall Street" is occasionally self-indulgent and sprawling.




"Wolf" careens all over the place between comedy and drama, cautionary tale and generous helpings of sex 'n' drugs. Much as Scorsese has often been accused of idolizing the gangsters so often featured in his movies, there's no denying this film gleefully dives into a pool of debauchery.

It may be kind of a mess, and would probably be better if it were 15 or 20 minutes shorter, but it's still one terrific cinematic ride.

Video features are a big disappointment. If you buy the DVD version, you get absolutely nothing -- not even a theatrical trailer.

Spring for the Blu-ray combo pack and you add only "The Wolf Pack" -- a series of interviews with Scorsese, cast and crew about making the film.
