The role: Depp’s Gilbert is a careworn soul with little time for wackiness as he takes care of his younger sisters and disturbed brother Arnie (Leo DiCaprio).

It’s an acting tour-de-force for the lead, though Leo got the Academy Award nomination and Johnny would have to wait a while…

Jack Sparrow-o-meter: Far too involved with family despite mishaps with water. This lad needs to get out more. I suggest the Pacific. 2/10.
