Worst Scorcese film ever!
If you like historically inaccurate, pointless drivel along the lines of; Pearl Harbour, The Patriot, Braveheart, U-571, Titanic, Far and Away, then this is the film for you.
However if you prefer a film with good characterisation, a story with some point to it and decent acting, then avoid The Gangs of New York, because it doesn't have any of these. Daniel Day Lewis is the 1 saving grace of the film, but he can't prevent it from being a complete lump of dog poo. Leo Capreeo is totally miscast, Cameron Diaz is irrelevant, the other characters? There are none. All the other players are mere decoration. I don't know what happened with this film, I can only assume most of it ended up on the cutting room floor. Scorcese can't be happy with the end result, it looks sloppy and amateurish. DO NOT WASTE AN EVENING WITH THIS!!! |
