Greed, deception, money, power, and murder occur between two mobster best friends and a trophy wife over a Las Vegas gambling empire.
Mafia crime thriller of epic dimensions directed so expertly and fast-paced and with a great cast as if on speed you never notice the time spent.
Halliwell***: "Deft, involving and intriguing depiction of the inescapable corruption of the spirit, in a city built on greed. It begins in a leisurely, documentary style before focusing on individuals as flawed as the system they operate and as expendable as the chips they bet."
Maltin**: "Long, tedious tale...Disappointing reteaming of Scorsese and writer Nicholas Pileggi, who scored big with GOODFELLAS; this time, their story is overlong, repetitive, and aloof. Stone makes her mark amidst a heavy-weight cast with a full-blown dramatic performance."
