Martin Scorsese’s latest film‚ Gangs of New York is a failed anti-war film. It is 165 minutes of some of the most violent footage ever seen in a film intended for mainstream entertainment. As a fan of Scorsese’s‚ I have to say that even the brutality of Good Fellas could not have prepared me for the assault that is the experience of watching this film.
