Leo needs to break his habits..


It seems as though ever since the Departed Leo has been carrying along the same acting traits from character to character. I saw this trailer and he is doing the same squinty eyed, whispering line delivery that he did in the Departed, Inception, Shutter Island, and Body of Lies. He is doing the same serious eye-brow frown that he has done is his characters since the Departed. I like Leo especially in Gilbert Grape, the Aviator, and the Departed but it seems as though he has been doing the same thing since the Departed as far as how he portrays characters. Anyone else notice this?

I so agree with you. Hoover, the Aviator, the Wold of Wall Street, Gangs of NY. It's Leo playing at Leo playing an actor.

I'm surprised that more people can't see this.

I give him an A- for The Departed, however.
