Absorbing!

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2008)

a great film which is led by a fantastic ensemble cast. It is a great tale of the draft riots and the five points section of New York.
Daniel Day-Lewis was nominated for best actor for his portrayal of Bill the Butcher but should have won by a landslide. DiCaprio gives a great performance as Amsterdam VAllon and Jim Broadbent is Excellent as well.
Also watch out for Liam Neeson in a small role as Priest Vallon. he gives an in depth performance from such a small role.
a film which should have won Oscars and win them all.
A great film.
9/10.
