Absolutely Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2013)

I've never been much of a Leonardo DiCaprio fan. I don't really have anything against him, but I've always assumed he was a bit of a 'pretty-boy'. Someone who has millions of teenage girl fans to keep him relevant, despite little to no talent. This movie completely changed my opinion of him.
I came across the movie while flipping through the movie channels one night when I was bored out of my mind. I actually got to this right as it was starting, so I decided to watch it. I am so glad I decided to. This movie was extremely powerful, and Leonardo DiCaprio's performance really turn this movie from a good movie, to an excellent one. Djimon Hounsou's performance in this movie easily matched Leonardo's.
I completely believe this is one of those movies that everyone needs to see at least once in their life. I have it on DVD and re-watch it about once a month, just because I think it's one of the best out there.
