Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a young Irish immigrant released from prison. He returns to the Five Points seeking revenge against his father's killer, William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), a powerful anti-immigrant gang leader. He knows that revenge can only be attained by infiltrating Cutting's inner circle. Amsterdam's journey becomes a fight for personal survival and to find a place for the Irish people in 1860's New York. Read More Read Less

Gangs of New York

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though flawed, the sprawling, messy Gangs of New York is redeemed by impressive production design and Day-Lewis's electrifying performance.

It's a punishing piece of work, this Gangs of New York. Spectacular, brilliant, but punishing-basically, one long brawl...

Times (UK)

The visuals are strong, while the central narrative is weak (a disastrous combination for a long movie). Worst of all, Gangs of New York achieves far too little while trying much too hard.

What makes “Gangs of New York” so frustrating is that the bones of a great film are visible.

I didn't like the fight scenes in this film. It doesn't fit together very well.

It did have some interesting characters and cool shots with the opening scene. It is definitely one of my least favorite Scorsese films.

Jesica E I find myself watching this movie every year. Not a New Yorker nor history buff but this movie makes you cherish a time and place you never thought you’d miss. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Francesco P Great Movie and incredible performance of DD Lewis. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Erik B A gritty tale of strife between classes/peoples and the rippling effect on 1860's New York. Overly dramatic, but incredibly watchable. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Mortal Extremely confusing character arks and plot. Honestly after a while you don't really care about what happens. I did understood the goal of Di caprio, but the Butcher was honestly an very boring character. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Heidar F One of the best i can still watch it 100 more times Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Les N Very Hollywood like. The Irish accents are laughable. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
