Something Special

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2018)

"Casino" tells the story of Mafia families, trying to enter the nightlife of Las Vegas. While everything is going more than smooth in the beginning, risk is rising when some of the involved develop own interests that could be most dangerous for the legal impression of the project.
Some films just manage to instantly convince you that you're watching something special. This is one of them. Although the plot is nothing new or unseen, the storytelling is carried out so skillfully that it is hard not be drawn into the story right away. The film establishes original and exciting characters, even though I have to confess that the love story was the only weakness of the production for me. But the plausibility, the masterful tempo and flow of the film make up for this by far.
All in all you shouldn't miss out on this piece that is not only a pleasure for fans of the genre but for anyone interested in movies, since it shows how to master a certain sort of film.
