Worst big budget film of the decade.

Rating: 1/10 (17 April 2003)

I agree with other posters about how boring this film was. My husband I walked out of the theatre wondering, what was that all about?
I could forgive, (Oh, I really can't) that it is historically inaccurate, but this film doesn't even rate as fiction. It is a simple straight forward revenge story. DiCaprio is horribly miscast. What's the matter? No Irish actors? That role needed someone like Colin Farrel, but that would not have improved the plot. There was the silly love story that we could have totally done without.
This is where I depart from others, I think Day-Lewis was more than just over the top. His character should have been named Snidely Whiplash. I say this even though I thought he was great in Last of the Mohicans.
If you want to waste hours of your life you will never get back, and a considerable sum of money, go to the Gangs.
