纽约黑帮

一个多世纪前的纽约，腐败政客用见不得人的龌龊手段争夺着这个城市的官方领导权；而在曼哈顿岛五分区、包里区、天堂广场一带，爱尔兰移民的黑帮组织“死兔党”和“本地党”则明目张胆地以武力争夺着地盘和一切可以占有的东西…… 《纽约黑帮》海报 “死兔党”的老帮主普瑞斯特·维伦（连恩·尼森）被“本地人党”的头儿、“屠夫”比尔·普尔（丹尼尔·戴-刘易斯）干掉，死者年轻的儿子阿姆斯特丹·维伦（莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥）继承了首领的位置。当然，他上任后的第一桩“买卖”就是杀死比尔替父亲报仇。然而，帮派之间历时数年的争斗使得其间的孰是孰非已经纠缠不清，“屠夫”比尔又真的是个冷血凶残、杀人不眨眼的屠夫，这些都让阿姆斯特丹的复仇计划困难重重。 结识女贼珍妮·埃佛迪安（卡梅伦·迪雅兹）似乎让事情出现了转机，她的帮助给了阿姆斯特丹新的希望，而且两人在互相的合作、利用中渐渐坠入了爱河——谁知道这对于复仇之路究竟是福还是祸呢……

The film opens with Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson) shaving dry with an old, rusted straight razor. He deliberately slashes his cheek and then hands the blade to his son Amsterdam, who is about to wipe off the blood. Vallon tells him to leave it there, and his son puts away the blade in a black pouch with a sliver cross clasp. Vallon then says a prayer to St. Michael, puts a medallion over Amsterdam's head, making sure his son knows who St Michael is. Vallon grabs a steel cross, and marches out of his cave with Amsterdam. They walk past people making and finishing weapons, including a woman with clawed gloves named Hellcat Maggie. Vallon, his son, and the rest take communion as they continue exiting the caves. They finally reach the top level of an old brewery. They stop and Vallon asks a man named Monk if he will join them. Monk says he'll fight for pay. Vallon promises him ten dollars for every "new notch" on his club, so Monk agrees, picks up his wooden club, and kicks open the door, revealing a snow-covered intersection known as Paradise Square, the Five Points of Lower Manhattan.

Vallon and his crew, the Dead Rabbits, leave the brewery and make their way onto the street. Amsterdam runs to join children on the steps of a nearby building, while the Dead Rabbits await the arrival of the Natives. A few moments later, men dressed in blue, The Natives, led by Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day-Lewis), a ruthless New Yorker with a glass eye, walk onto the street, clearly outnumbering the Rabbits. Bill says that the ensuing fight will decide who holds the rule of the Five Points; Bill's mob who are Protestant or Vallon's Catholics. Vallon recants that it's a free country, that he and his immigrant crowd have been harassed incessantly by Bill and his men. The Rabbits are then joined by several other gangs that have allied themselves with Vallon, greatly increasing their numbers.

Moments later, they begin fighting. Monk is mashing people in the head, Maggie is biting a man's ear off, and people's legs are getting broken while others are being stabbed, slashed and bludgeoned. Bill and Vallon slowly make their way toward each other, but as Vallon draws near Bill directs one of his men to attack Vallon. The diversion works, Vallon kills the man, but is stabbed by Bill. Vallon tries to fight back, but is stabbed again in the side. Vallon falls to the ground, and a horn is blown. All of the men stop fighting and stand around the dying Vallon. Amsterdam pushes his way to his father's side.

Bill makes a speech about how all the fighting is done and how he has slain Vallon. Vallon looks at his son, tells him to always stay focused and then asks Bill to finish him, which Bill obliges, leaving the knife on Vallon's chest. Bill says that Vallon may not be touched so that he may reach Heaven with honor. Monk tells him to wait, goes over to Vallon's body and presumably takes the money he's owed from his pocket, and then offers Amsterdam his condolences. As they haul Vallon away, Bill's men ask what they should do with the boy. He tells them to put him in a school so he can get a proper education. Amsterdam quickly grabs the knife from his father's chest, threatens Bill's men, and runs inside the brewery. As the men chase him, a boy, Amsterdam's friend Jimmy, hits one of them in the shin, knocking the man from his feet. Amsterdam runs down to his cave, opens a secret compartment in the ground, and places the medallion and dagger inside. Bill's men grab him. Outside, Priest's body is placed on a cart and wheeled reverently out of the square. As we zoom out of the area, we see that the battle took place in Lower Manhattan and the year is 1846.

小李转型期作品，开始跟马丁无穷无尽地合作+冲奥。。因为身处纽约所以看到最后特别有场面感。以黑帮片的形式重现纽约历史，不过故事是散了点（一贯如此。。），但丹戴刘+小李都不错啊，全是大牌。。菜刀党们真凶残。片尾曲好听
马丁试图将一个传统的黑帮故事置于一个更大更复杂的背景下，并赋予其更多的社会意义，但在对后者的把握和引导上做得完全不够，使得影片所传达出的意味不够浓烈，反倒不如纯粹的复仇来的快意；凛冽的开始和混乱的结尾有一种奇妙而荒诞的宿命式呼应，刘易斯又一次伟大的表演，只可惜被片子本身所冲淡。
想看这杯具的奥斯卡十项提名零项得奖的片子好多年。一开场，看马靴和腿，我一眼就认定那是Daniel，等镜头移动到脸，我茫然了……
花了一周时间看完，2小时46分的长度让我想起《美国往事》。一看导演斯科塞斯不禁释然，又想起金球上Amy的吐槽。纽约的黑帮，血腥与杀戮，小李的隐忍复仇。片尾镜头的时代变迁，坟头荒草萋萋，配合之前的台词，「没有人会记得我们。」一切都抵不过时间啊。
如果这就是马丁斯科塞斯打磨10年终于完成的作品，那还真对不起幕后这帮人的苦心。即使长达三小时而且场面很大，依然缺少史诗感。史诗不是想拍就能拍的。和《美国往事》差远了。不知是不是没有罗伯特德尼罗的关系，倒是突破了马丁以往的黑帮片路数。虽然小李表演很努力，气质还是和片子不搭调。三星半
DanielDayLewis
又看一遍，确实《纽约黑帮》不在马丁作品的第一序列，把黑帮火并和起义暴动两件事勾兑起来叙述，野心很大，有点互相干扰了，因拒服兵役而起的暴动更适合用于史诗题材，不过可能是火并有黑帮最典型的仪式感，所以倒贯穿始终了，反倒是暴动起义忽然冒了出来了。惊喜是发现卡梅隆迪亚茨居然会演戏！
大导演 中意Day-Lewis
复仇故事置身于大动乱的背景下，似乎浓烈不够，又失了单纯报仇的爽快。刘易斯的表演太精彩，不愧是三拿影帝的人！
结尾真给力，瞬间升华。
小李转型时期作品，丹尼尔依旧出彩...
旧仇恨在新秩序面前一文不值，而比起时间，所有流血都不值一提。
野心太大，历史背景的穿插丰富了该片黑帮类型形式下社会政治内涵的传递，但却损害了人物形象的塑造。不过不得不说有几场戏是动人心魄的，比如中国剧院里的刺杀与表演，但整体却没能完成马丁给予的厚望。
不用怀疑本片的黑色调调和PK场面的精彩程度，不过结尾阿姆斯特丹不能和比尔正式较量一下确实有点遗憾！
拍电影就像做一个巨型雕塑，马丁.斯科塞斯，絕讚！！！
蛮有小浪漫情节的黑帮电影，配乐好赞。丹尼尔的演技真是神奇，惟妙惟肖。小莱表现也不错，不过有些相形见拙，但是发型很浪漫有木有？这里竟然也有亨利·托马斯，怎么就没红起来呢，表现挺好的啊。迪亚茨不适合演古装美女，太现代，而且美腿的优点展现不出来。
感觉评论很麻烦 从题材上以真实的纽约 暴 乱和帮派冲突为题，应该也是纽约佬斯科塞斯的长处，但是从剧本到选角上都有问题，有史诗的框架，拍出来气度又小了；结尾草草概括纽约建立在前辈的鲜血上，少了点意思。 DDL又一杰出表演，饰演的“屠夫“更有邪恶魅力，一心捍卫自身信念的恶人，比小李演的苍白而稚嫩的主角的表现力强多了。
