As waves of immigrants swell the population of New York, lawlessness and corruption thrive in lower Manhattan's Five Points section. After years of incarceration, young Irish immigrant Amsterdam Vallon (DiCaprio) returns seeking revenge against the rival gang leader (Day-Lewis) who killed his father. But Amsterdam's personal vendetta becomes part of the gang warfare that erupts as he and his fellow Irishmen fight to carve a place for themselves in their newly adopted homeland!
An epic tale of vengeance and survival from acclaimed director Martin Scorsese that earned 10 Academy Award® nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, along with 2 Golden Globe Awards for Best Director and Best Song.
REVIEWS:
----------------------------------------
"It has not been worth the wait. (...) Scorsese and his team have created a heavy-footed golem of a motion picture, hard to ignore as it throws its weight around but fatally lacking in anything resembling soul." (Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times)
