It was a Hollywood movie. All five point thugs did not look like Leonardo DiCaprio. All five point hookers did not look like Cameron Diaz. I suppose that next you'll be using "Outlaw Josey Wales" to teach us about the Kansas/Missouri Border War.
Hey, I liked Josey Wales (even if it was just a yarn - and maybe because I can tell the difference). Gangs was barely watchable.
You obviously know nothing about film or fiction. That movie is one of the best that Scorcese turned out - a NYer who knows his history. I don’t watch Eastwood movies.
