Leo is an actor to keep an eye on. His performances can only continue to be outstanding. A DiCaprio film will continue to be a film worth watching.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2008)

Leonardo DiCaprio deserved Best Actor for his role in "The Departed". The fact he didn't win is a sin. He has grown into an excellent, topnotch actor. Marlon Brando, James Dean, Robert DiNiro, watch out. ("Blood Diamond" further substantiates this point.)
Thru "The Departed",Martin Scorsese, finally. redeemed himself for that fiasco "The Gangs of New York". Not even Leo could save that disaster!
As for Jack Nicholson, every role he plays is the same. The characters may be different but Jack plays them the same. For an actor with such a limited range, I don't see what all the fuss is about! Jack is overpaid and overrated. Leo was definitely the draw in The Departed.
