Poor? Really? I guess you missed all the nuances with which he had to play SPOILER: two characters and to subtly differentiate between them so that the twist doesn't become obvious. I guess you haven't noticed the differences in brothers' behaviors towards Sarah and in general, one is more co
cky, the other more responsible and mellow. It's the performance that hits you after the film is over, that sneaks on you, that only after you've seen it you realize it's great. No wonder you like DiCaprio, everything is so obvious with him.

Speaking of Dicaprio, his next two films will be really interesting:
"Hoover"
Next up for Leo is the title role in Clint Eastwood's biopic about controversial FBI director — and rumored cross-dresser — J. Edgar Hoover. The script comes from the pen of Dustin Lance Black, who won an Oscar for the Sean Penn-starring "Milk."

Hoover? Another role to file under
miscast. Clint Eastwood's biopic? DiCaprio really wants that Oscar.
