A great film of american history

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2002)

Gangs of New York has got to be one of the top ten movies on list for best film. Sure this movie is almost three hours, but it moves at a smooth pace. Daniel Day Lewis just steals the show. I will be very disappointed if Daniel is not nominated for an Oscar. This film is no Goodfellas or Casino, it is a piece of history that should be viewed by all. Great performances by all and to Martin Scorsese for finally bringing this great masterpiece to the screen. I look forward to hearing the nominations for this film.
P.S. Is it just me or is all the reviews I've seen from California just so negative about this film. Maybe the smog was so thick that it affected their brain to think. I bet they consider Master of Disguise a classic. Just ignore this negativity and go see this film. You won't be disappointed.
