Scorsese scores some fine political points along the way and demonstrates the mastery of his craft in every scene, but the underlying theme of brutal revenge at any cost loses its way too early on...November 23, 2010
One of Scorsese's weakest films, a wannabe historical epic that's essentially a formulaic revenge saga; the only reason to see it is Daniel Day-Lewis' compelling performance as Bill the Butcher.January 16, 2003
What we're left with has the patness of a history lesson about our roots and the melting pot and what it means to be an American.February 18, 2009
The whole may not add up to the sum of its parts, but it's difficult to dismiss the brilliance of those parts.January 13, 2003
Scorsese's congested, conflicted, entrancing achievement.January 16, 2003
The result reverberates on the screen with a deadly force and fury more intense than anything Mr. Scorsese has yet achieved on the meanest and most beloved streets he could imagine or recall.January 09, 2003
A triumph of pure craft and passionate heart.January 14, 2003
You have to honor its mad ambition. But sadly, it feels like a dream too long deferred.December 24, 2010
Brilliant but devastating. High schoolers and up.October 18, 2008
It's a story of such relevance to New York, to America and even to the rest of the world, that just had to be told on film with as much impact as a filmmaker can muster. And Martin Scorsese musters much.February 09, 2006
It's never less than compelling, driven by an overwhelming, larger than life performance from Day-Lewis and by Scorsese's grandiose historical imagination.February 03, 2010
[A] flawed masterpiece.
