I was disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 2003)

I was disappointed with this film. Although I understood it would be violent, I wasn't prepared for the amount of gore. I was not impressed with Diaz's accent, which resembled Kevin Costner's accent in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Is she Irish, or is she American? Daniel Day Lewis has received a well deserved Oscar nod, as the sympathetic villain, Bill the Butcher. He is someone you definitely love to hate. As for DiCaprio, I was again unimpressed with his acting. I don't know if he'll ever be as good as he was as Arnie Grape, in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I give this film 2 1/2 stars out of 4.
