A Classic! Scorsese rocks!

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2018)

3/13/18. They definitely don't make movies like this anymore. This movie is a testament to how great a director Scorsese is, to keep you enraptured for 3 hours watching how 3 people self-destruct with Las Vegas as the backdrop. Based on the nonfiction book by Pileggi, who also wrote the screenplay (as well as the one for Goodfellas), it is really the history of the old Las Vegas Strip, when mobsters and the Mafia ran the everything. Definitely worth catching!
