I agree with your review, neat. DeNiro's performacne was his best in years. The film lacked the nonstop action and mordant humor of "Goodfellas." But it provided a rich, detailed look at Mob influence in Vegas. Well worth its three hours.[/b][/quote]You Know Turnbull,
There must be something said about a movie that shows you a guys eyeball being popped out when a guy twists a vice so tight on your head that the pressure inside just pops the old boy out!

I will never forget the feelings that went thru my mind, when I watched Nicky and his brothet get beaten to near death with a couple of baseball bats...watch that and then think how it would fell if it was your brother and then knowing that you were next.....slow and painfull. OUCH!

also shows you that when real trouble comes down the road, that people get whacked just to make a break in the chain...." Why take chances"- RENO
