Review of Casino (1995) by Ethan M — 18 May 2014

*UPDATED REVIEW* When the first sentence out of your mouth after seeing a film is "That was church." you have your favorite movie right there. A film that is as good today as when I first watched it, if not a million times better.

The only word to describe this masterpiece is "perfect". Perfect directing, a perfect protagonist, perfect antagonists, a perfect soundtrack, and a perfect story. Quite possibly the greatest gangster-drama ever made, in my opinion.

This film cemented for me that Martin Scorsese is one of the greatest directors of all time, and no one will be able to take that title away from him. If I could rate this higher than 100% I would. In short, "Casino" is and will always be, the greatest film I have ever seen.

Period!
