While I wasn't impressed by the directing, and how it took around 3 hours to finish a story that would have fit just as well in a 2 hour time slot, the acting was done well. Leo C, he was pretty good. I didn't really think Cameron Diaz really had a point other then to be a "love interest" and to have long, drawn out not-sex scenes but let's lick eachother scenes with Leo, but all in all, she didn't screw up her accent, which could have made the film even more unbearable. Now, Daniel Day-Lewis saved the day. If it wasn't for him, I would have left the theatre feeling seriously robbed of my 3 hours. He's really a excellent actor, and in a way the movie failed him. It could have been so much better, but he was the best he could be, no one could really live up to his colorful, entertaining and reallyreally scary character, Bill "the butcher". Plus. He isn't bad looking and he can throw knifes like nobody's business. And he had awesome style, let me tell you. So, if you enjoy watching Daniel D-L, go see the movie. Also, I commend the film for shedding some light on the little known drafting riots, which, after seeing the movie, I found out they were actually much worse then the film depicted. And, if you saw the movie, that's pretty worse. Anyway. I'll stop.
oh, heh, I think this is funny :
