Seeing the story as a screenplay gives it a unique structure — I wonder what motivated turning it into a written narrative and how that influenced the storytelling.

The depiction of the Mafia’s influence on casinos is so detailed — it’s hard not to feel drawn in but also disturbed by how deeply corruption runs.

Since it’s based on real crime figures and history, I’m curious about how much was dramatized versus sticking closely to true stories.
