The film is Scorsese's all time champion
in terms of violence. Some scenes are so repug·

Scorsese thinks he's accomplishing with this
degree of gore .
De Niro's commanding presence is
enough to carry one through the morass of rep'
etitious mob stereotypes, but in the end this
story is simply not compelling enough to leave
a lasting mark. There's a lot of death in the c1i·
max (if you can call it climactic) but it feels
strangely flat, as if we hadn't spent three hours
getting t9 know (hese people . That just
shouldn't happen.
Scorsese probably felt a lot of pressure to
revisit past glories, and the result is a pretty
uninspired effort. I hardly think that he will
look back on this film as one of his greats. in
fact, I doubt that he even entertain ed such
hopes while making it. It's almost like Casino
is a half-hearted concession to his fans who
complained about Age oflnnocence. lronically,
it is those die-hards who have seen all of his
previous films that will feel most bet'~ayed; they
know he's covered this ground before.
Despite a weak finish that left me feeling
empty. I would recommend Casino as a vivid,
gritty look at the underbelly of Las Vegas.
