Daniel Day-Lewis
Reviews Featuring Daniel Day-Lewis
Good. Gangs of New York is like a really good looking (but boring) date. You hope there's some sugar waiting for you if you persevere, but you've got to get through three hours of monotony before you reach it. And like a boring date, there's not enough substance here to bring you back for a repeat performance.
Offers us something different from the usual (and increasingly tiresome) gangland matter, but the end product is confusing, muddled-up and far, FAR too long. Any fans of DiCaprio out there (well, it takes all sorts) would be much better off picking up a copy of the vastly-superior Catch Me If You Can.
The film itself is lacking in some areas, but Daniel Day-Lewiss masterful performance is plenty of reason to watch this story of one oilmans struggle and ambition.
Nine is a visually stunning triumph musically, but in the end, there's just not enough room on the canvas for all that star power.
One of Hollywood's great historical epic adventures floating in a sea of missed opportunities, Mann perfectly mixes action, romance and good characterisation. Also, only one of two films that have ever made me weepy. The other being Little Nicky - different reasons.
