Who agrees with me? Anyone?

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2003)

*Spoiler Alert* I'll keep this short and sweet. Gangs of New York would have been much more interesting if the opening scene was the finale and Liam Neeson (much better suited to play a protagonist strong enough to balance out the powerful performance of Daniel Day Lewis) was the lead instead of Leo.

Other than Lewis's performance, every other actor in the film seemed incidental to Scorsese's recreation of 1800's New York and the Draft Riots that occurred. The background was more interesting than the actors (and the script's lack of any real character development) performing in front of it when "The Butcher" was not onscreen.
