Reviews Featuring Cara Seymour
Good. Gangs of New York is like a really good looking (but boring) date. You hope there's some sugar waiting for you if you persevere, but you've got to get through three hours of monotony before you reach it. And like a boring date, there's not enough substance here to bring you back for a repeat performance.
Offers us something different from the usual (and increasingly tiresome) gangland matter, but the end product is confusing, muddled-up and far, FAR too long. Any fans of DiCaprio out there (well, it takes all sorts) would be much better off picking up a copy of the vastly-superior Catch Me If You Can.
A quietly subtle drama exploring how easily humanity gets locked away during conflicts which admit no compromise - a sensitive reflection on the climate of 1980s Northern Ireland which is equally relevant for today's 'War on Terror'.
A prime example of how impressive acting and wonderful direction can be wasted on an implausible and slightly-tasteless story.
Don Cheadle is a revelation in this heart-breaking look at how one man became a hero in the face of mankind at its most cold and destructive.
