75. "The Man in the Iron Mask"
DiCaprio isn't a good actor. He plays two roles in this period piece aimed at teenage girls. (Why are period pieces made for teenage girls?) Each character has one emotion. The guy not in the iron mask is angry. The guy in the iron mask is sad. Some characters adopt French accents, some do not. The entire thing is heavy handed, looks way too bright, boring, odd and boring again.
I do realize that it's absurd to be writing this eleven years after it was released as Leo's post "Titantic" vehicle.
It is a joy to see Malkovich act in an otherwise forgettable film. That's a decent reason to not change WGN on Sunday nights at 11pm.
