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.

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.

The whole may not add up to the sum of its parts, but it's difficult to dismiss the brilliance of those parts.

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...

[A] flawed masterpiece.

You have to honor its mad ambition. But sadly, it feels like a dream too long deferred.

Brilliant but devastating. High schoolers and up.

It's never less than compelling, driven by an overwhelming, larger than life performance from Day-Lewis and by Scorsese's grandiose historical imagination.

Scorsese's congested, conflicted, entrancing achievement.

A triumph of pure craft and passionate heart.

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.

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.
