More unconvincing acting from De Crapio

Rating: 3/10 (19 November 2011)

This movie was on my 'Movies to Watch' list. It shouldn't have been. My problem was mainly with Di Caprio, but the overall movie was a loser, as well. The guy just doesn't do it for me. He always seems like the same dude, no matter what part he plays. Even in Shutter Island I still saw the same pouty pretty boy.
The movie doesn't make it any easier on pouty boy, either. It progresses slowly, but at the same time you don't feel like you get to know anyone. There was a bit of 'Heart of Darkness' to the whole 'crazy' part when he's out in the woods. But it was just so oversimplified and contrived, and just simply unbelievable. The dude is sitting out in the woods eating bugs with nothing on him, and after a few days starts running around like Tarzan? It was all over for me after that. The images and scenes in this movie have already been forgotten. And its better that way.
