Scorsese's first collaboration with Robert Richardson (see also The Aviator, Shutter Island, Hugo). Scorsese movies certainly don't lack for visual punch and this movie lands some devastating blows.

When you create a sharp, snappy rollercoaster like 'Goodfellas' (1990), how do you follow it up? Well, I figure 'Casino' is its own beast and I find it equally effective. If 'Goodfellas' is a rush, like coming up, 'Casino' is the fallout, an epic comedown. Watching these two movies together is for me like watching Brian De Palma's crime films 'Scarface' (1983) & 'Carlito's Way' (1993) together, where you see the building of a criminal empire, then a former crimelord's race to the bottom, but they seem to go hand-in-hand. I think the photographic style of 'Casino' reflects the nature of the story and I like how it captures the historical aspect to casino building.
