My favourite film. Deserves at least 11 Oscars

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

This is a fantastic view of what life used to be like for different cultures in the streets of New York in the 19th century. This is a type of film where you can watch it once then watch it right over again. The film lasts for 2 hrs 30 Mins, and there is not one dull moment. The only thing that lets it down slightly is Leonardo's Irish accent. I am from an Irish family and i know an Irish accent. He can't do it to save his life. The best thing about this film is Daniel Day Lewis. He is superb as Bill the Butcher. This is probably the best performance I have ever seen in a film. I recommend this to anyone. Although, if I was a parent i wouldn't show this film to young kids, purely because of the bloody violence and the racial content of this film. But, if you know someone who is old enough and hasn't seen this masterpiece, they don't know a great film from a sack of potatoes. It is just incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I demand you to see it if you haven't.
