Great performances, a riveting story and visually amazing - Martin Scorsese does it again - and he does it well. I won't say it's my favorite out of all his films, but it certainly helps solidify him as one of the great modern directors. |

Scorsese at it again!! Best Director Ever?? |
|
If there was ever a doubt of Scorsese's talent and storytelling ability this film puts those doubts to rest. It is obvious from the first scene and the first line all the way through to the ending credits that Scorsese put every fiber of his being into the telling of this epic story of crime, politics, social class, poverty, and gangwarfare set in New York City in the midsts of the turmoil of the Civil War. The shadow of this grand historic event looms above the entire film, but the real story is told in the relatively small area of the Five Points slums and alleys where our characters live and die by ancient codes and rules that few outsiders would ever understand. But Scorsese's will and talent is also backed up by an amazing cast of characters who give the characters a life and authent... |

I would have to say this is one of Scorsese's better films. Daniel Day-Lewis and Leonardo DiCaprio display some pretty well acted scenes and dialogue throughout this entire move. One of the more surprising aspects of this movie is Cameron Diaz. She does a fairly good ob in this movie. |

All over the place. |
|
Incredibly well shot, and somewhat well acted, Dicaprio and Diaz are not perfect in this. The problem though is the music is very odd in some places like the opening battle sequence and the movie is all over the place and cannot decide what it wants to be about. If it chose just one subject and followed it, the movie would have been much more effective. You can do multiple subjects in one film but you also have to get it to work and Scorsese does not do it this time. |
