DiCaprio is not all bad

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2003)

This is obviously not one of Scorsese's best, but its not his worst either (has anyone seen Cape Fear??). However, this is a very good film. I have heard that some people hate this movie based soley on the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio is in it. To them I say "for shame". I see Leo as one of the most legitimate actors out there today. He, in my eyes, is the next DeNiro or Brando. With actors like Ben Afleck, Vin Diesel, and Keanu Reeves getting the spotlight these days, DiCaprio is a breath of fresh air. In 30 years, DiCaprio will cement his place in film history, while guys like Vin Diesel will be asking if you want your extra value meal to be supersized.
