Unquestionably seems to be DiCaprio's weakest film by FAR

Personally I think the reason why DiCaprio was so good in this film was because he made it his own. I barely even noticed the accent. What the hell does that have to do with fine acting? They even had one of his family members with the same accent.
Personally I would probably have found this to be a rather bland film if it were to cast your usual run-of-the-mill TV movie "star". Instead of going for nationality they went for the emotions they wanted to show.
