Great acting, lots of gore!!

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2002)

I represent the opinion of the average moviegoer with no biases. The 5 minute intro made me nearly leave because I knew there were almost 3 hours left. Daniel Day-Lewis played SUCH a twisted character in this movie and I can't BELIEVE I started liking him when he said "I never had a son" insinuating that he thought of Dicaprio as a possible "son". Of course I wanted the perfect sappy ending, which obviously didn't happen.
It was a good movie and *definitely* didn't feel like it lasted 3 hours. The only bad thing is that the main thing I remember it all the blood/guts/gore...some of it was hard to stomach...19th century killing styles...yuck!
