| I think this is one of Leo's best performances, if not the best (gotta mention The Aviator though, but when it comes to Leo, all his performances are 10s, lol), he just blew me away! __________________ Tony: Yeah, well, you're not gonna like it.

| If one has not seen this movie they must, it's one of his best movies. If someone said that they never saw a single Leo movie, I would tell them that this a definite must see. __________________ If my heart could beat it would break my chest | |||

| Frozeninside, I agree. This is a must-see for all die-hard Leo fans....since we all know he's talented as hell, he just exudes his talent in this role. True Daisy lover, he gives me shiver-me-timbers as Jim. __________________ Tony: Yeah, well, you're not gonna like it. It's Kim. Jack: Hah, my Kim? Tony: I'm not crazy about it | |||

| Is there any scene that's really hard for you to watch, since it was really graphic, and all. __________________ Tony: Yeah, well, you're not gonna like it. It's Kim. Jack: Hah, my Kim? Tony: I'm not crazy about it | |||

| Fan Forum's Finest   | Well, I think the one where he prostitutes himself is pretty hard to watch.  But I agree, this is one of Leo's most powerful performances. For example the withdrawal scene, it's just amazing! He was so talented already back then. I haven't seen this in ages though. I don't have the DVD cos I haven's seen it anywhere.  But gotta keep looking. I think this movie is up on YouTube though.__________________ "I don't want the celebrity to affect me; | |||

| That scene and I think the withdrawl scene, like when his mom wouldnt let him in was hard to take. __________________ When we love, it isn't because the person's perfect, it's because we learn to see an imperfect person perfectly." Edward ♥Bella | |||
