Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Here is a historical epic that fudges a few facts, tacks on a pandering love story and trips on its own grand ambitions. And yet here is a film that I give the highest rating. Nuts? I don't think so. ...read the complete Gangs of New York movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York is an absorbing tale of urban crime in mid-19th-century New York City and the struggle of the immigrant rabble to fit in.

The Flick Filosopher (MaryAnn Johanson)

New York City has an amazing capacity to absorb the amazing. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus can walk nearly the length of 34th Street -- as I have seen happen -- with cars honking from behind police-car barricades as elephants and camels...read the complete Gangs of New York (2002) review at The Flick Filosopher (MaryAnn Johanson)
