From The Walking Dead and Punisher to The Wolf of Wall Street, Small Engine Repair, The Many Saints of Newark, and this month’s King Richard, Jon Bernthal has established himself as the hard-working, all-in, go-to, actor’s-actor of the moment.

The Wolf of Wall Street is chockfull of successes. With its performances, pacing and formality resting comfortably on the more transparent end, a new video demonstrates that its visual effects department is no slouch either.
