What critics compared Get Rich or Die Tryin' to
Yet if the emotional detachment of "The Wolf of Wall Street" is partly deliberate, it's also a flaw in the script by Terence Winter, whose other movie about wanting to get rich or die trying was actually called "Get Rich or Die Tryin.' "
Written by Terence Winter (who’s scripted episodes of The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire and, particularly apposite here, 50 Cent’s 2005 star vehicle, Get Rich or Die Tryin’) and based on Belfort’s memoir of the same name, Scorsese’s film fittingly closes a year dominated by movies—and headlines—about greed, stupidity, and invidious consumption.
