When his father is killed in New York City, Amsterdam Vallon returns in 1863 to hunt down his father's killer, the ruthless, Bill 'The Butcher' Cutting. It's not easy for Amsterdam as gangs roam a corrupt New York City, with Bill Cutting ruling over everyone.
By now, everyone has seen this flick, so it'll just say this:
What is it with Martin Scorcese and long Fucking films? There should be a rule where the longest you can make your film is 2 hrs. If you can't get your point across in 120min, you've failed and should lose out on potential revenue.
Back on topic, Gangs is actually a pretty good movie and both DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis kill in their roles. It also serves as a lesson in the bloody history of New York. Still, It shouldn't take 3 1/2 hrs to tell the story of a son who vows vengeance towards the man who killed his father. But if you've got the attention span, it works.
Out of Ten? 7.5
Violence? Lots bloody gang violence + armed forces. Looting, Rioting, and at one point, even Cameron Diaz gets punched in the face. You couldn't ask for anything more.
Explosions? Yup Especially when the military steps in.
Nudity? No.
