A Showcase For Daniel Day-Lewis

Rating: 7/10 (11 January 2003)

Daniel Day-Lewis was simply amazing as "Bill the Butcher"; he certainly deserves the Oscar for best actor. Brendan Gleason was also quite effective as Monk. This movie was not perfect, but it was never boring, either. Also, it wasn't as violent as some have claimed.
Overall, it was a good movie, deserving of 7 out of 10 stars.
