I also love how clearly the movie shows that the Butcher has lost touch with what's actually happening. He's forever frozen in 1846, in the moment of his triumph over the Priest. He hasn't the slightest notion of what's coming. It's great storytelling.

“I think it shows dash…give the boy some time, we’ll settle with a good dust up.” What a badass

[brendanprimus]

I think John C Reily is an incredibly underrated actor, he has such a range.

[rubbersole]

There is really nothing John C. Reilly cannot do in this art form. He's an American film treasure.

[cyranojohnson]

The fake-crying by Bill the Butcher makes that scene extra-terrifying. I completely understand why Happy Jack needs a good stiff drink afterwards.

[PLATOON]

This movie is a masterpiece! That scene with the fake cry for the killed rabbit is a gem of acting.

Daniel Day Lewis is freaking terrifying in this movie. That bit where he starts fake crying about the rabbit then his glaze ices back over immediately. I guarantee he's just a wee bit nuts in real life.

[stevehokie]

He wasn’t actually dead. He was just using ninja focus to slow his heartbeat.

[PipByMac]

It's a shame this particular Step Brother doesn't get more serious roles

[ThePirateburke]

it's wild to see John C Riley in such a serious role and absolutely crushing it

[Moose]

Two of the best actors around. Daniel Day-Lewis is otherworldly and John C. Reilly is so underrated.

[Think]

DDL's rage shining through in the look he gives just after he's fake crying how it begins with just that left eye and morphs into him collecting himself....is so menacing

I saw this with my father on Christmas. Rip Dad.

Bill the Butcher is one of the most fascinating characters you're likely to see in movies. He's not evil for the sake of evil. He's a man with relentless conviction that leads to him doing evil things. In his mind, his evil is for a greater good. But there is a code in there. He was furious at Amsterdam's assassination attempt not because Amsterdam wanted him dead, but because he didn't come straight to him and challenge him face to face, after Bill taking him in and helping him out. But here, you notice that Bill actually now has respect for Amsterdam, for essentially calling him out for a fight. And during their final fight, he shows respect. Just the same as he did Priest.

Everyone in the comments “JOHN C REILY IS SO UNDERRATED”. If everyone says he’s underrated, then maybe he’s not?

[vincentmarotta]

In my years of messing with people, I've learned that when you piss someone off and they begin to cry in the middle of yelling at you, then you're in for a bad time and should pull back.

[georgeofhamilton]

Those stovepipe hats are really something.

[siXti]

Costumes, sets and music - this movie really is a form of time travel and it makes that last scene where you witness the transformation of the NY skyline so fascinating - all the themes in this movie are timeless and create a sort of melancholy.

[TheSchaef]

Poor Jack. You can look right through him, walk right by him, and never know he's there.

[TheRedRedKroovy]

Can't look at John C. Reilly without thinking of Dr. Steve Brule.

"We're down here today in New Rork City place called Five Proints, and it smells real BAD down here haha"
