How big a part does DiCrapio play?

The film has gotten great reviews - the best for a non-children's film this year, it seems. So for the first time in months I'm interested in going to the theater. (Last film I saw in the theater was the dreadful [i]Avatar[/i], in headache-inducing 3D CameronVision.) Two concerns though:

1) I hate DiCrapio and his baby face. He's always going to be the non-threatening teen girl heartthrob "Jack Dawson" from Titanic for me. Every subsequent film I've seen in him (Gangs of New York, Aviator, The Departed) he seems too young and too much of a lightweight to pull off the part he's playing. I can't take him seriously. Plus, he's a far poorer actor than critics give him credit for being.

2) This being a Nolen film, I'm concerned the film has an irritatingly incessant underlying musical soundtrack that makes dialogue hard to hear.

Can you suggest whether my fears of a bad night at the theater based on the above are unfounded?
