Big budget action flick. Day Lewis saves the day.

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2008)

I don't know or care of this is historically accurate but I must say that it's a fine piece of action delivered by the great Martin Scorsese.
The settings are unique, beautiful, and dark when needed. The characters are colorful and sinister also when needed but it helps to create the tension and violence atmosphere.
Daniel Day Lewis steals the show with his performance as Bill The Butcher. The man is really violent and perfectly sets the mood for the movie.
DiCaprio and Díaz are fine when they have to act.
So I would only recommend this movie for Scorsese fans and anyone else who is in the mood for a big budget action flick.
Nothing else much to talk about...
