It's odd the film was as enjoyable as it turned out to be, given the sloppy direction, incoherent narrative, poor editing, and the appalling, movie-destroying performance of Cameron Diaz. What worked? Daniel Day-Lewis' portrayal of the demonic Bill The Butcher, the stunning production design, historical detail and cinematography, but best of all, Jim Broadbent's scene-stealing turn as William "Boss" Tweed. Leo wasn't bad, but he was instantly forgettable, and the scenes between him and Diaz should have been euthanised. Diaz really was terrible beyond belief. Every time she was on screen, you half-expected her to say "like, you know, whatever". She stuck out like a tarantula on a carrot. It is perhaps less of a story than a series of disconnected sequences, as none of the story strands or moods are continued or developed for any length of time, and the conclusion is a weird half-baked blah, confusing story with historical context, doing justice to neither. Give
it a look. You'll like it so long as you don't expect too much. And try
to watch it in widescreen on a very big screen if you can.
Tim Blair's AFL team just got walloped by 50 points in today's grand final. It's bad enough they have the gayest outfits in AFL, but Tim's Precious Magpies keep losing the big games. Funny
for the rest of us though. Hehehehe
