One word: Epic

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2006)

A look at how Las Vegas went from and Eden for organized crime syndicates to a family orientated attraction as it is now. All seen through the eyes of casino manager Ace Rothstein and his closest associates.
Scorsese's previous mob world film "Goodfellas" was about small time gangsters, but this film is about the big fish. The top of the criminal underworld food chain. That even makes this film even more fascinating to see how Mob operations are run, where they get their dough, and just how ruthless and self-serving people can be. Martin Scorsese and Co, with this film, deliver an epic crime tale of deceit, corruption, betrayal, told with a great attention to detail of the story and characters involved.
The only downside is that it might feel like a little bit of a re-run from "Goodfellas" since the key players are not only the same actors, but playing similar characters. However, overall this is a great film its own right and one of the best crime dramas ever made. 9/10
Rated R: strong violence, brutality, and strong profanity
