Good film but the ending seemed rushed.

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2003)

I know there were real problems with the making of Gangs of New York and that it took a lot longer to put out than Martin Scorsesi would have liked and to be quite honest apart from the rushed ending you wouldnt notice . Although two and a half hours long it is not a film that drags because of some of the brilliant performances on show especially from Daniel Day Lewis and Leornardo De Caprio also the story is gripping which is why the ending is such a let down. You get the impression that for over two hours the film had been building up to a fantastic climax yet it didnt get the one it deserved. This is still an 8 out of ten but it could have been a 10 out of 10. 8 out of 10.
