Plot like hamburger helper, very little meat.

Rating: 7/10 (11 October 2003)

Watching this one I kept wondering if there would be anyone left alive in NY City by the end of the movie. The main plot, revenge, was hidden and over ridden to a great degree by the Anglo-Saxon hoods and Irish hoods trying to wipe out each other. Then there's the betrayal aspect of DiCapro's character by Thomas's character; after all what are good friends for, et tu Brutus? Over all the movie was too long, slow in most places, and even comical. The wardrobe must of come from the Ringling circus. While most of the acting was good, DiCapro's character seemed to hold it all together and Day-Lewis played an excellent part as the villain. Definitely not Oscar material, but okay to watch once.
