Gangs of NY

How much blood is shed in Gangs of New York, which supposedly depicts the clashes between newly-arrived Irish and "natives" in Manhattan, 1846? Here's an example: in one scene we get to see every single drop of blood gush out of a body. As the scene ends, ten bodies, dead or alive not ascertainable, lie in a puddle of blood literally four inches deep. Men splash through the puddle; blood sprays everywhere.

As I peeked out from behind my knees during this scene, I heard the burly middle aged guy in front of me whimper.

Although nominated for a Golden Globe for best drama, Gangs has no discernable plot. Nor did the acting impress me. Leonardo DiCaprio's accent is so horrendous that they give him a line explaining it -- "After spending so much time locked away [in jail],…" his Irish accent just disappeared.

I'm a teenager: I like movies where things blow up, but I'm not so fond of watching people bleed.
