Worst movie ever?

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2006)

OK, comparing to Scorsese's classical cinematic masterpieces, this may not be a movie to remember, but it still is a solid, entertaining story. I don't know what went wrong for the people who criticize this movie, those who say that it is violent and lacks the depth of the characters. I would suppose that these people have never seen a Scorsese-picture. This film nevertheless contains all of its makers trademarks, maybe its a little unsurprising, but compared to a average movie of its genre nowadays, it is well written and just plain entertaining. And if there's nothing else to watch, you can just observe the work of a genius who's acting too rarely, and thats Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill the Butcher.
