re: Most mismatched/overmatched pair of actors in a movie?

Gangs of New York easily. Not that Leo's a hack, but DDL totally dominated the screen everytime he was on. I didn't care about anything else in his scenes.

Gangs of New York would have been a much better film if Liam Neeson had a larger role. Neeson is a great actor and more than held his own with DDL when they were on screen together. Their gang fight scene was epic and felt like a confrontation between two titans. Unforutnaly, it was the only time DDL was challenged on screen because DiCaprio just didn't have the same screen presence of Neeson at that time. LINK
