The Beach ** (out of ****) 5.5 (out of 10) Grade: C+ Directed by Danny Boyle Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tilda Swinton This so-so movie follows DiCaprio's character and two others on a search for a paradise island. Starts off ok but quickly gets uninteresting until late in the movie when things take a decidingly dark and twisted turn that got me hoping that this could turn into something interesting. Alas, this only lasts a brief short time and quickly resorts back to its conventional and not so interesting self. DiCaprio gives an uneven performance. There are times when he is quite good but a lot of times he seems to be trying too hard. The movie is beautifully shot though, with great locations. About the best that can be said about this movie is atleast it was never boring.
