The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, this movie was a real hit in the cinemas when it was released back in 2013.

It is based on the story of Jordan Belfort, who spent 22 months in prison after pleading guilty to fraud and other crimes related to the stock market.

In 2007, he decided to publish his memoir, The Wolf of Wall Street, which was later made into the popular movie it is today.

After getting involved in the stock market, Jordan Belfort soon learns of the typical culture of greed which so often prevails in this industry.

Aggressive with his sales tactics and with the idea that his main goal is to make himself money, Belfort soon made huge amounts of money from criminal and fraudulent activity.

News reports in local media have said the version of the movie showing in Abu Dhabi cinemas removes 45 minutes of content. Aside from nudity and sexual situations, most of the edits come from the film's 600+ curse words. Time Out Abu Dhabi reported offensive language was removed by "either by muting the audio temporarily or chopping chunks from scenes mid sentence, which produces a jarring effect for viewers."
