what is this film about?

Rating: 3/10 (26 January 2003)

gangs?; draft riots?; nativism?;travails of irish immigrants? Or all of the above? Any of those would have been a suitable topic. But all of them made for a movie looking for cohesive theme. And DiCaprio as the irish gang leader tough guy? I'm sorry, he's just too pretty. I was looking at my watch.
