re: #78 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

Some actors really need good direction and a strong script to be great. DiCaprio is one of those. If he doesn’t have those, he reverts to type.

Tom Cruise/Steven Spielberg comes to mind. “War of the Worlds” and “Minority Report” are the only two films of Tom Cruise I really enjoyed, mostly because he pulled off a good performance under Spielberg’s direction.

I’m not a big fan of Cruise; never have been.
