Review of Gangs of New York

This main reason I didn't love this film was the DeCaprio voiceover. He'd explain, colour and feather every detail about life in New York but I couldn't care less. I just wanted him to be mute by the end.

However, DeCaprio was a decent addition to the cast. I'm not jumping onto the hate wagon. Blade Runner did better without the voiceover, Scorsey could do wonders if he scrapped it in here.

It's an enjoyable film, with a glorious cast but it just seemed like a weak attempt at showing off the early days of America.

5/10
