Gangs of New York Ratings & Reviews
- Gianni Cavuoto3d agoLove the story, love the acting and most of all I love Daniel Day Lewis. And epic film for an epic actor. He truly male's you belive he is Bill The Butcher, fully immersed in the character and story. I like to revisit this one from time to time to "see" the old neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan. I don't think many if not all of those streets still exist today except for Mulburry Street and Mott Street (my fave in modern Manhattan). The movie takes place in the 5 points neighborhood what is now Chinatown.
- CarbonDJNovember 4, 2025Absolutely love this movie. Leonardo vs Daniel is such a great watch. I love the way the setting is established and just beautiful to watch.
- Judson PenceAugust 9, 2025I've never been to New York but now it looks like it sucks there. Cameron Diaz was super hot though.
- Lluc PlaOctober 7, 2025Brilliant, detailed atmosphere, lacks a bit of grit.
- cferacoSeptember 22, 2025Gangs of New York is Scorsese going full epic, trading the tight intimacy of his dark age for a sprawling blood-soaked opera about the birth of America. Daniel Day-Lewis devours the screen as Bill the Butcher, a villain so magnetic he overshadows everything around him, even DiCaprio’s revenge arc. The film is messy, brutal, and uneven, but it’s also Scorsese at his most ambitious, stitching violence, politics, and vengeance into a vision of a nation built on knives and betrayal.
- tellumAugust 17, 2025The main criticism is that it’s not as good as other Scorsese crime dramas, and it’s not, but as a period piece it is very well shot and the story is fascinating.
- Edgardo LopezAugust 9, 2025Still holds up 23 years later.
- Duvalfla87August 2, 2025Awesome movie..
- mickerdooJuly 2, 2025Scorsese crushes this gritty, gory period piece. Incredible sets and costumes. Leo is really dynamic. Day-Lewis is terrifying. Repeat watch.
