Again, a brilliant performance, his best, missed again. DeNiro\’s most nuanced and best performance was in the now-forgotten "True Confessions", in which he learned a liturgy in Latin (!) and played a smug, calculating career priest to perfection. Easily DeNiro\’s most mature and nuanced performance. How is "True Confessions" so forgotten? It may not be "Chinatown", but it\’s close.

Indeed, his performance in CASINO is certainly one of his essentials – perhaps in his top 10 for me, personally. His portrayal of Ace Rothstein is, in my opinion, one of the more fascinating and inspired performances of the gangster genre in the past 20 years.
