The TVI Take
Scorsese's long-gestating 2002 Civil War-era Five Points epic, anchored by Daniel Day-Lewis's Bill the Butcher — one of the most committed villain performances of 2000s American film. The Five Points set construction (Cinecittà-built, period-accurate to street-level) is among the most painstaking historical reconstructions in Hollywood history.
Leonardo DiCaprio is doing serviceable work in his first Scorsese pairing; Day-Lewis is doing canonical work.
