Are there any other comments on Gangs of New York? I have been on the fence as to whether to see it in the theater or wait untill it is out on video.
I had had almost decided to go see it in the theater untill I read Eric Metaxas’ review A Bloody Shame in Books and Culture. Ouch! In the review Metaxas says that Gangs is all about the blood, and that this film is another in a line of his that glorifies blood letting. Without having seen Gangs I thought that Metaxas made in intriqueing arguement against gangs, but I are there other arguments out there for or against.
