1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   Great movie. With an all-star cast and director, good writing, intriguing and captivating story, great cinematography, sex, and violence, this movie would have been hard-pressed to be anything but great. This film shows a compelling version of mid-1800s NYC that, whether historically accurate or not, is a romantic, vibrant, and adrenalized (is that even a word?) place of turmoil, torment, and transition. Terrific!
