The TVI Take
Scorsese's 1995 Las Vegas crime epic that completes the trilogy Goodfellas and The Departed bracket. Robert De Niro's Sam 'Ace' Rothstein and Joe Pesci's Nicky Santoro renderings of mob-managed casino operations are structural rather than tabloid — the film treats casino mathematics, skim mechanics, and the Teamsters-pension-fund-as-mob-bank infrastructure with documentary specificity.
Sharon Stone's Ginger McKenna is the rare Scorsese female lead given full cognitive autonomy. Three-hour runtime earns every minute.
