There is something about Scorsese's style that is undeniably underrated by movie aficionados worldwide. It's almost always complex, multi-layered, and ever so beautiful. As an older 1995 movie, I had slept on this movie for at least a decade without knowing how Scorsese's work looked before he mastered his edge. Casino masterfully narrates a story of destruction and betrayal, but more importantly, it takes more chances than any the movies of its kind at the time and does so in spectacular fashion. Though I must agree it flows much slower his later works, it's a fascinating story, filled with the typical fall from heights and flashing lights, leaving us with a gem that transcends a director's work for decades to come. 8.7/10.
