This Epic Belongs To Daniel Day-Lewis More Than Anyone Else.

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2013)

Set during the Civil War during the 1860s and telling the gangland history of New York that is a skyline today, Martin Scorsese has crafted Gangs of New York in stunning detail and his direction is as good as the movie along with its impressive art direction, crisp editing & superb cinematography. Amongst the performances, Leonardo DiCaprio was no doubt very good but it's Daniel Day-Lewis who steals the show with his sensational performance as Bill the Butcher, becoming the biggest highlight of this film. Ruthless, electrifying & show-stealing, Daniel Day- Lewis continues to dazzle us in yet another masterclass performance. The ending of the film was a little disappointing from the perspective of how the entire film was setting the ending up to be. Yet, Gangs of New York is one satisfying piece of epic in Scorsese's career.
