Boss Tweed and Brendan Gleeson (“The Tailor of Panama”) as an Irish immigrant who makes good, and sticks to his principles.
Loving New York as he does, Martin Scorsese has chosen to stage an entirely engrossing moment in New York’s history. l He paints a vivid picture of the dark, teeming comer of the city known for vice and chaos. From images of white snow turned pink by the blood of a gang battle to shots of the Irish being herded off the boats, Scorsese completely immerses viewers in the film’s universe.
It’s always refreshing to watch a film and experience a time and place you may know little about—the Irish immigrants, their plight and the way they were forced into the military by a desperate Union army.
