I wouldn’t recommned it. It’s not “epic” (except in length) or particularly deep (it is presented in a very glossy superficial and exploitive series of quick cuts with rock music and a lot of Chess Records blues from Bo Diddley and Howlin’ Wolf in the background).

It isn’t even a particularly good Scorcese movie. I suppose it’s better than Bring Out Your Dead (with the drug abusing ambulance driver played by Nick Cage) which is the last Scorcese movie I can recall seeing (I tried watching Hugo on Netflix but wasn’t taken in by the 30 minute mark).

Then again, I prefer Casino to Good Fellas (which also did more to glamorize gangsterism and drug abuse than Casino did).
