Solid Scorsese Film

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2003)

Overall this was a good, solid film and an interesting look at the origin of street gangs. There were a few slow parts here and there but nothing that made me lose my interest. Daniel Day-Lewis was outstanding as Bill "The Butcher", it's unfortunate he doesn't do many films anymore. Leo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz were good as well. I would hardly call this a bad Scorsese film as several here have remarked, it was certainly better than "Bringing Out The Dead", "The Last Temptation Of Christ" and "Cape Fear".
