Review of Gangs of New York (2002) by Metaflix — 14 Jul 2017
Daniel Day-Lewis' performance in 'Gangs of New York' outshines everything else that's great about the movie, including Jay Cocks' well-researched script and Martin Scorsese's superb direction.
Interestingly enough, when viewing the film after all these years, Leonardo DiCaprio's performance isn't quite as good as one might remember and Cameron Diaz's performance isn't quite as bad. Nonetheless, the movie is a spectacle from the first scene to the last, and despite a slightly bloated run-time, it offers a robust portraiture of one of the most tumultuous periods in New York's fascinating history.
