I don't know, if I was the American Academy...

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2003)

...I would have given Scorsese Best Film a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long time ago!
This film was a brilliant, brilliant film! What has Martin got to do? What did he do wrong? He and Spielberg have even raised my once low opinion of Di Caprio but now I've seen GANGS and "Catch Me If You Can" he's on level par! ...I loved Adaptation and think Chris Cooper is a fine actor but I'm 100% sure he robbed Daniel Day Lewis (another actor I had a low opinion before Gangs) of the academy award... Daniel Day Lewis was superb and was worth watching him alone! ...Diaz' role was pointless and only really a token love interest within the movie. ...The fight scenes are great although the final meeting is a bit of a cop out! ...and that one shot of immigrants arriving in American only to enroll in the U.S army was just amazing!
8/10
