| Gangs of New York |
 Director: Martin Scorsese Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Jim Broadbent, John C. Reilly, Brendan Gleeson, Henry Thomas Rating: R, for intense strong violence, sexuality-nudity and language Running time: 167 minutes |
Both camps will find elements to justify their preconceptions.
