Day-Lewis Jr pays attention to his actors and frames them in ways that make monologues count but there’s a lot of unnecessary brooding about in between times.

Gangs Of New York (2002)

Review preview for Gangs Of New York

The acting is ensemble, which means no-one stands out and everyone chips in. Day-Lewis, unrecognisable behind a 'tache wedge, is the most memorable, due to The Butcher being a bigger sicko than anyone else.
