Title: A lot to chew on...
Review: Well, I'm a big fan of Scorsese's work. And while this film has a brilliant performance by Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill the Butcher, the film as a whole is a tough one to enjoy. It's far too long and aspires to be a sort of historical document to this period in New York. The core story - the relationship between Bill the Butcher and Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) - is very promising, but Scorsese seems willing to take up every available tangent and in the process delivers a tiring, disjointed film. Even as the film reaches it's climax we find we've got another twenty minutes to go. Scorsese is one of the finest filmmakers of our time, but he may have been too close to this story.This is arguably the best work from actor Daniel Day-Lewis and the film may be worth watching on that basis alone. But I'd have a hard time sitting through it again.
