A film to behold!

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2012)

No one makes a movie centered around crime, gangs and violence as beautifully and as perfectly as Scorsese does! With attention to every small details, this works good as a masterful period piece. A method actor from Britain in such a stunning performance of an American native; Daniel Day-Lewis really is the show stealer. The movie has great production values coupled with a few great battle scenes including the opening scene!
Scorsese's earth shaking tribute to the forgotten millions who helped forge a city, and a nation. The end credits U2 theme song (The hands that built America) is just perfectly apt and you gotta love it after having watched the movie! A film that blossoms, a film that never holds back, Gangs of New York is a film to behold. Must Watch.
