Gangs of New York

Although a tale of complex relationships, back-stabbing betrayals, and the inevitable conclusion that the past can drastically affect the future, there is only one, simple word that I need to describe this film: amazing.

The film, which chronicles the impact of mid 19th century immigration in New York, the effects of the Civil War, and how its two main characters take a long and difficult journey in learning what it is to be American, isn't something you'll want to watch every single day.  However, when the fancy strikes, this movie will never fail to please.  Besides, Martin Scorsese directed the film.  Need I say more?

Rating: 8/10
