Danny Boyle Does What He Does Best

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2000)

I was sold on Danny Boyle when I rented a film called shallow grave one night on a whim. Since then he has yet to fail to surprise and amaze me. The Beach is no exception. I was very nervous about this film, mostly because of the preview, but a little because of DiCaprio, who in the end delivered a quality performance. To make a long review short, it was far better than I expected, and I was glad to see that Angelo Badelamente composed the soundtrack.
Not For Everyone, You Must Be Capable Of Enjoying Films Based On Quality Of Screenwriting and Cinematography
