Title: Powerful and thought-provoking
Review: I didn't expect to be impressed by this movie but was. The feel of the times was successfully brought out by the scenery, costumes and acting. Daniel Day-Lewis is absolutely fantastic as Bill the Butcher, the leader of one of the major gangs. I expect to see him nominated for an Academy Award. Other performances were also good but not at the same level as his.The downside to this movie is the stretching and, at times, ignoring of historical fact and the violence. Granted, the times were violent but I feel that the movie focused more on the action than on getting across the story, thus the 4 stars instead of 5.What I found particularly powerful was the portrayal of the variety of prejudices rampant at that time and how few of them our country has successfully eliminated. It's rather sad to realize that we have not progressed more in the 140+ years since the New York Riots.
