Gangs of New York (2002)

Rating

[3.5]

Reviews and Comments

Martin Scorsese's sprawling epic about, well, the gangs of New York in the mid-1800s is a gorgeous visual spectacle. Besides the amazing reconstruction of 19th century New York, there is also a deliriously unhinged performance by Daniel Day-Lewis. Those two things alone make the movie worthwhile; unfortunately, the film never quite achieves the emotional impact it seems to be striving for.
