Great action & drama in which DiCaprio stands out

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2013)

This film is about Django- a newly freed slave who teams up with a German bounty hunter killing wanted people and claiming the rewards. The two of them then set out together on the mission of finding and rescuing Django's wife.
This film includes a great cast with some well known actors playing very different roles. Jamie Foxx was endearing as the determined and likable main character. His German partner was also very likable and provided comic relief throughout which was nice when it was quite a dramatic film about serious issues. Leonardo DiCaprio portrayed his character fantastically and he really made some of the scenes with his brilliant acting.
The story line is quite powerful and there were some very shocking and gory scenes in this film but because of the topic of the film those scenes just had to be in there.
I think this is one of those films which everyone has to watch and at least give it a go. It is definitely memorable and despite it being a very long film, it is worth it.
