Gangs Of New York. Strange film. Strange in the sense it feels rather choppy and amateurish at times and has inconsistent and unsuitable changes in tone and style. Scorcese has never been guilty of this before. What happened? Was the film badly rushed or what? Anyway, it has lot's to recommend and it kept me entetained, but it was a really inconsistent film. Went from great scenes to poor ones and back. Acting was a bit incoherent from DiCaprio and Diaz, but Daniel Day Lewis rocked. Cinematography was beautfiful, but editing was REALLY poor at times, and yet masterful in some places. Script was sometimes good, sometimes so-so. It was rather unfocused and didn't succesfully make it's mind about what story we are supposed to be seeing. Pacing was also off half the time. I liked the film, but it felt weird watching Scorcese delivering such an unfocused and sometimes simply amateurish directing job. Puzzling. 7/10.
