More like Gangs of New Jersey

Rating: 5/10 (14 July 2003)

I understand that Scorsese couldn't get the funding for this movie until he secured Leo DiCaprio. That's too bad because Leo gives the worst performance of his career in this three hour nosebleed. He slides in and out of his horrible horrible accent the entire picture. Seriously, he was surrounded by Irish actors. Did he not listen to them speak? Horrible. He was so good in Gilbert Grape, that's the shame of it. Lewis is great and he definitely steals the show, but nothing can make up for the accent-no accent-bad accent of DiCaprio. Thanks for nothing man. You're an actor. A highly paid actor. Freakin' act!
