not scorses's best but there is no other movie like it and day-lewis is amazing

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2002)

Gangs of New York is a must-see film. It is not Martin Scorses's finest picture, and the editing is not great, but Daniel Day-Lewis is terrific and will be nominated for an oscar.Dicaprio and Diaz aren't great, but this is a unique movie(you'll remember Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed from history class). Highly recommended.
