Sorely disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (27 July 2003)

People have said that if you'd like Titanic, then you'll like this. I think that is a fair comment, since the accuracy of this film is probably equivalent, as is having a drivelling romance story to drive the plot (coupled with a revenge story), both of which are poorly played out. The only good thing about the film was Daniel Day-Lewis's portrayal of Bill the Butcher. Not altogether a bad film, so if you're bored, then by all means watch it. Just be prepared for a rather slow paced beginning with a anti-climatic ending.
