He is there every second, pushing himself, oftentimes to the detriment of his health. All through his career he has never “phoned in” a movie. This is such a well made movie and when you consider what he did recently with The Aviator, I think it’s amazing that he is able to still work at such an amazingly high level. His attention to detail, the way he covers he every scene and the angles he manages to pull off add such a rich texture to this film yet never interfere with it’s natural flow. The rest of the cast is rounded out by very solid performers, and all of this is put together by the inimitable Martin Scorsese. She is a schemer who is attached to a scumbag, ex-pimp/boyfriend named Lester Diamond (terrifically played by James Woods). Sharon Stone plays Ginger Rothstein, Sam’s wife. The characters are different but in very subtle ways. While many people feel that he is just emulating the volatile Tommy character he created in Goodfellas, I don’t think that that really matters here. He is conservative, reserved and the perfect person to head the mob’s operation. A man who can gamble with his eyes closed.
