Suspended my suspension of disbelief

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2003)

This movie was a recreation of history with a multi-color pallet that doesn't lend itself to realism. The characters are unconvincing for the most part, albeit a decent accent by Dan, Liam and even Leo. The fight scenes are a bloody work of faux wrestling with missed punches obvious as the bright red dripping from the musty brown landscape. Still I found a moment or two interesting; the backdrops were especially magnificent, though perhaps too well designed in that I never entirely felt I was in the 1800's, just on an expensive set of said era.
I give Gangs a hearty uppercut...without pulling the punch.
