The "Boy" DiCaprio; Far from Oscar worthy

Rating: 7/10 (29 February 2016)

Any Baldwin brother could have acted his part.
DiCaprio's problem is that every time he opens his mouth it screams- "Young Boy". He hasn't the physical or more importantly- vocal requirements that would display him as a "Man", and that's where films like this just don't work with him. He fits well into movies like "Catch me if you can", but he is NO John Wayne or Clint Eastwood... or even Alec Baldwin! and that's not good.
For me? Standing up (or laying down) and making impressive looks on your face isn't acting, really. Not the kind that should bring you Oscar. Unless all the others last year were pretty lame.
His role was pretty shallow and didn't offer much for him to show off acting talents.
The Film? was put together quite well. Very well. I am very picky about reality though, simply walking through a stream and soaking your feet in those conditions would have been a death sentence. There were several other things that made me smirk, but there have been other movies that take liberties with reality.
John Fitzgerald acted better than DiCaprio. Either the other movies actors were even more shallow, or he was given this award for some other reason.
The movie was good, would I buy it and add it to my collection? No.
PS- Open note to Chris Rock... I am a white guy... does this review make me racist?.... you idiot.
