Critic Reviews:

• " Scorsese's skill at creating brevity out of such a kaleidoscopic canvas commands respect, though there's the nagging sense that he's running through something of a formula. " – PJ Nabarro

• " Casino is, in a sense, Scorsese's God­father. It has the epic scale, the operatic violence and the cornered protagonist who craves legitimacy… " – Mary Nemeth

• " Martin Scorsese's intimate epic about money, sex and brute force is a grandly conceived study of what happens to goodfellas from the mean streets when they outstrip their wildest dreams and achieve the pinnacle of wealth and power. " – Todd McCarthy
