Incredible Crime Movies That Were Based On True Events

The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013)

Martin Scorcese’s 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street is technically categorized as an American biographical black comedy and crime film. It is biographical because it is based on the memoir of a man named Jordan Belfort whose nickname was the “wolf of Wall Street.” He was the real person that the same character played by Leonardo DiCaprio was based on. The film focuses on Belfort’s more than a questionable career as a stockbroker in New York City, and how his firm Stratton Oakmont engaged in corruption, which eventually led to his ultimate downfall. The Wolf of Wall Street has been described as being over-the-top but actually manages to follow the events of the true story relatively well.
