I went into this film with high expectations - i love Di Caprio and with this being his oscar winning film i was excited! Unfortunately, these expectations were not met and the film left me deflated. The plot itself is okay but is overshadowed by the performances not being anything special. My main gripe is that i feel Di Caprio is criminally underused in the film and he is reduced to crawling around and grunting for the majority of the film. I feel Leo has 10 performances or more that outplay this one and the lack of dimensions within the character is not his fault whatsoever. In contrast, the action sequences within this were superb and balanced the gore with reality perfectly. This is nowhere near one of Leo's best but the visuals and action are superb. Give it a watch if you fancy the sound of it!
