Highly underrated, one of the best films of 2000

Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2004)

The Beach starring one of my favorite actors, Leonardo DiCaprio, is about 3 friends who plan a mission trip to go to a paradise island but as they get there they are not alone and things don't turn out as what they seem. I thought the movie was great and getting a 5.8 on IMDb is highly underrated for this movie. The acting and the dialouge was magnificent for this story. Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Carlyle, and Tilda Swinton are superb. The scene where Leonardo is left out by all his friends on the island and he starts becoming bizarre is the best part of the whole film. One of the best films of 2000 to my eyes
Hedeen's outlook: 8.5/10 ***+ B+
