Scorsese wields his magic on the Vegas landscape

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2018)

Casino is Martin Scorsese out and out. Even if you showed me this film randomly I can look at the traits and say this is a Scorsese movie. The setting is hedonistic Las Vegas and the story is about some friends who decide to setup their empire on the sands. The underlying themes of greed, power, corruption are all evident here and of course the actors shine- Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, James Woods and about a dozen more have seldom been this good. The gorgeous shots of the casinos with Scorsese's stylist approach are amazing. Go watch Casino- It is one of the best films of the 90s.
