"The Hands that Built America"

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2004)

Great movie! Should have won Best Picture. Brilliant directing by Scorsese. He doesn't hesitate in showing violence in order to show an accurate depiction as he does in many of his other movies. Great ensemble acting, but standout is Daniel Day-Lewis. Diaz is surprisingly good too.
Very entertaining,Lewis steals every scene. He becomes his character. Oscar-worthy.Great cinematography and all other aspects behind the camera.
This is also a very important movie. You have to appreciate any story that deals with a part of how our country was started. U2's "The Hands that Built America" goes perfectly with the movie. That song summarizes the movie. 10/10
