GANGS OF NEW YORK

Advantages: Excellent direction, beautiful set, good story, superb soundtrack, high quality film
Disadvantages: One or two minor lapses in parts of the film

. She plays a charming but deceitful pickpocket. Her romance with Amsterdam provides a valuable subplot to the storyline. Henry Thomas who you may recognize as Elliot from E.T. stars as Amsterdam?s long time friend. Perhaps you can blame the script but his betrayal of Amsterdam seems all too predictable. Gangs of New York deserves to go down as an epic.

gangs of new york

Advantages: good film
Disadvantages: long

Leonardo and Cameron play their parts really well, but i think Daniel Day ...

Advantages: great story and some fine suspense
Disadvantages: a little 'tacky' in parts
