Wonderful Movie!Daniel Day-Lewis gives performance of a lifetime

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2005)

Gangs Of New York is a wonderfully told story about revenge and history. Martin Scorsese brilliantly recreates 19th century New York.The story is about A young man(Leonardo Dicaprio),who after witnessing his father's death during a brutal gang war at the hands of Bill the Butcher(Daniel Day-Lewis)seeks revenge 16 yrs. later.However,things aren't easy as he finds himself becoming Bill's right-hand man,during a period where turmoil,chaos and corruption ruled the streets. Daniel Day-Lewis basically steals the whole movie.It is a performance you will never forget and he without a doubt should've won the Oscar that year for best actor.He is brilliant.Leonardo Dicaprio gives a pretty good performance but is completely overshadowed by Day-Lewis. All in all,"Gangs" is a wonderful movie,Daniel Day-Lewis makes this movie a 10/10.
