 The Aviator film review, In Film Australia
His 2001 film, the messy, shambolic and epic-sized Gangs of New York, hinted at a populist sensibility almost completely alien from his previous work punctuated by American crime – the dark, gritty urban dramas that prowled city streets in the pursuit of softening the hardened edges of criminals, outcasts and misfits.
The first chapter of the film dedicates itself to the production of Hells Angels, acknowledging that Hughes went way, way, way over budget, re-shooting expensive aviation sequences because he was determined to capture clouds in the background, and then re-shooting just about everything to cater for a new technological innovation – the talkies.
The film’s most interesting sequences are the public hearing meetings between Hughes, Senator Ralph Owen Brewster (Alan Alda, nominated for an Oscar for his small but important part) and a congregation of trigger-happy media, who accuses Hughes of treason against the United States for failing to produce anything from his multi-million dollar grants.

Hell?s Angels is in fact surprisingly violent, showing men consumed in flames and screaming to their deaths.
Hell?s Angels is also not afraid to show flyers full of fear and questioning the point of the war.
The story is thus rather unusual, especially for a war film, for it does not contain the heroics and the heroes so familiar from the genre, but rather shows the grim determination of scared men to get the job done.

 Wolf Entertainment Guide
Scripted by John Logan, this is a sprawling film, an epic grounded in personal detail, relationships and battles with Hughes’ detractors, notably competitor Pan Am, rivaling Hughes’ TWA company.
For all the detail, Hughes comes across more as an icon than as a dimensional being, and by confining the biography to the limited time period, the story is rather constricted despite the hints of his sinking into a mire of fears about germs and contact with people.
The early scenes establish Hughes’ determination and arrogance as he produces and directs the 1930 war film “Hells Angels,” for which Scorsese captures the aura of the air sequences so astonishing for the period.
