Casino

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_(1995_film)#/media/File:Casino_poster.jpg

For the third film of the month we have Casino

First off, we have the story which has a tale of greed, deception, money, power, and murder occur between two best friends: a mafia enforcer and a casino executive, compete against each other over a gambling empire, and over a fast living and fast loving socialite. I thought the story was very entertaining with it's take on the mafia and their business. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were all well acted and were very compelling and how they interacted on screen was a big draw to the story to make it entertaining. 

As for the film's visuals I thought the cinematography throughout was expertly put together in terms of the camerawork and lighting. The editing was also up to standard and flowed the story well. Moving onto the tone of the film which didn't pull any punches when it came to the mafia. I thought the soundtrack of the film was very good and gave the film a interesting style. 

Overall, I thought this was an enjoyable film and another gangster story by Martin Scorsese who knows the ins and outs of how to make them because of his other works so I was interested to see how this one would pan out. 

I give Casino a score of 8/10
