2017 viewpoint

Rating: 6/10 (1 September 2017)

Writing this review about 15 years post release, but this is first time I have seen the film. Penalize one star for its length. Performance of Daniel Day-Lewis is wonderful. Some great performances from supporting/character actors as well.
There have been liberties taken with chronology of some events depicted in the film. It is interesting film to watch in 2017 because the discontent & divisions among races, religions, immigrants and natives have parallels today.
The music theme by U-2-uninspiring.The set was very well done.
Gangs of New York is worth spending the screen time.
