Maybe it's because I'm sucker for anything remotely related to the mob.
Maybe because the amazing wardrobe, production design (CGI or not) and the details.
Nonetheless we are still talking about 1 hour of solid cinema, directed by the MAN. Martin Scorsese himself. Not sure how impactful his directing style his vs the work done in postproduction, but the scenes are so smooth and well paced and... they just make sense and keep you hooked like it rarely happens.
Buscemi acting is top notch, such a wide variety of emotions that really help setting the character (his past, his present and what he wants from the future) the sleazy social circles mean conflicts and drama. Love it.
