leo is at his best

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2007)

Leo has been in gangs of new york, the aviator and the departed which were all directed by Marty Scorcese a new York tough guy director and lets be hones he he's been mediocre. Leo is better at playing young charming guys who don't have to throw their weight around to get their way.
Blood Diamond gives him an opportunity to play a mature yet charming character without all that macho baggage that comes with being in a Scorcese movie. It's as if he was the next De Niro in relationship to Scorcese. He was better in Catch me if u can, Whats eating gilbert Grape, Romeo and Juliet...Leo is a LOVER not a tough guy I just which Hollywood could get it.
Blood Diamond should give Leo a Oscar because he's done a lot of work in the past and this movie is cumulative. It shows him at his sexist, charming, sincere and most of all fluid. I never would have imagined Leo as a mercenary and yet he pulled it off. Whether it was the Director or the Script...I was involved in his character from beginning to end.
The story, the director, the stars were all good and so was the action and theme...8 out 10. You go Leo...you rock
