About this product

Product Information

Director Martin Scorsese revisits New York City's notorious past with this dazzling historical drama. A throwback to the epics of yesteryear, GANGS OF NEW YORK is set in the mid-1800s, when the streets of lower Manhattan were teeming with tension and violence. Leonardo DiCaprio is Amsterdam Vallon, the son of a revered gang leader (Liam Neeson). As a youth, Amsterdam witnessed the death of his father at the hands of William "The Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), the maniacally driven ruler of the city's most powerful gang. Sixteen years later, Amsterdam is finally released from the orphanage that raised him. Determined to avenge his father's death, Amsterdam makes his way back to the volatile Five Points to track down Cutting and exact revenge. As he gradually infiltrates Bill the Butcher's camp and earns the crazed gangster's respect, he must also contend with the tumultuous, but beautiful, Jenny Everdean (Cameron Diaz). DiCaprio and Diaz are impressive in their respective roles, but it is Day-Lewis who steals the show. Resurfacing after a five-year retirement, the Irish actor delivers a performance that is at once cartoonish, electrifying, comical, sincere, and deeply moving. By paying tribute to the early days of New York City in such a grand, spectacular manner, Scorsese also pays tribute to cinema itself.

  • Simply Breathtaking.

    Daniel Day-Lewis steals the show. Leonardo DiCaprio might have gotten top billing, but make no mistake; this was Daniel Day-Lewis' movie, and a breathtaking performance on his part. Excellent set design, costuming, captures the feel of 19th century New York. Not 100% historically accurate, as a quick glance through IMDB will show, but the pace and flow of the movie is beautiful. And the closing theme song, the opening chords let you know that this is an epic piece-- what you'd expect from a master film maker like Martin Scorsese. In my opinion, one of the best movies I've seen.

  • Gangs of New York

    Incredible acting by all three lead actors: Daniel-Day Lewis (his best role, in my opinion), Leonardo Dicaprio and Cameron Diaz. If you wanted to see how New York started with the influx of European immigrants, the transition from slavery to abolition and the effects of the draft on American citizens, this is the movie to see. Fantastic and engaging from start to finish.

  • Engrossing and violent film

    Great film. Scorsese gives us what is likely a truer story of early American immigration, not the romanticized nonsense we have have been taught. This film also shows us who really has the power in this country-definitely not our elected officials. Great performances throughout but especially by acting genius Daniel Day-Lewis.

  • Very engaging and has relevance even in modern times.

    This movie is very engaging, plenty of action and great acting by the main players, set in a simpler but only slightly more violent time than we have today.
