Leo's worst

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2000)

After the success of "Titanic," Leonardo DiCaprio returns to the silver screen in "The Beach." "The Beach" is so bad, I feel sorry for Leo because this is most likely his best chance to prove whether or not his role as Jack Dawson was a fluke or he really is talented.
"The Beach" surrounds three people who discover a beach so secretive that the natives will kill for its privacy and secrecy.
There are a few positives in "The Beach" including the performance of newcomer Virginie Leyoden. Also, I was impressed with choice of the setting because it is so beautiful.
I appreciate the attempt the writers make with bringing an otherwise good plot to this film. If the plot can determine the outcome of a movie, "The Beach" would be a winner in my book; however, that is not the case and the cast failed to follow through.
"The Beach" was slow, I almost left the room because I was yawning so much. A good attempt, but an awful outcome.
