A true great

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 2001)

It seems Casino is the third in the trio of scorsese mob films, and the epic of the three. From its wonderfully insane characterisation to its stunning mise-en-scene to its rolling narrative, i truly beleive this is a strong contender for movie of the century. Where citizen kane gripped you for the duration, casino equally grips you but with an added touch of wit and shock. citizen kane DOES look dated now, and whether it is all round perfection is debatable. i think orson welles' extensive contribution and its controversy at the time attributes to its enormous success. casino, however, has been largely looked over since its release, but many believe it holds its place as the greatest film of all time.
