Summary: goodfellas 2
Comment: sure it reminds people of goodfellas but this movie is based on a true story. i find it fascinating. maybe a little long but good. robert deniro is good in anything. he is awesome. the movie is about the mob's rise ad fall in las vegas. they pretty much started sin city but got greedy. i dont want to say too much about the ovie. it is a great movie and if you liked goodfellas, you will like this one also.

Summary: Goodfellas Lite
Comment: Overall, this is a pretty good film, although there are some flaws. De Niro, Pesci, Stone and Woods are all excellent. Scorcese makes the usual gratuitous use of violence. I'm not sure we needed to see the head in the vice or the bludgeoning w/ baseball bats. Ace Rothstein's approach to handicapping isn't believable: he'd check the wind to gauge field goals and the type of wood on basketball floors to gauge the bounces. Also, the problems in the marriage of Ace and Ginger seem to have been played out in too many scenes w/ redundancy. The movie was probably about 30 minutes too long, but still worth seeing...

Summary: A Clasic
Comment: The movie Casino is an insite into when the mob gained controll of a casino. Robert De Niro takes controll of the casino to run it his way onlyand he is tough. Huge amounts of cash are funneld back to the mob. Joe Pesi tries to mussell in and he plays a great part. You get to see the cons trying to beat the tables, Rulett, and the machines. Definately a DVD to own. M Innes Australia.

Summary: Scorsese,Deniro & Pesci deliver again
Comment: Casino has to be one of the most underrated films that Martin Scorsese directed in the nineties. The acting by the leads is good and the script is excellent. Robert Deniro gave an Oscar worthy performance and Joe Pesci is chilling yet funny again. Even Sharon Stone is good in this brilliant film.

Summary: Excellent portrayals shine
Comment: Martin Scorsese's fascination with America's crime scene examines low-life in Las Vegas in Casino. Though long, this movie remains one of The Master's less heralded production, and I can't figure out why.
Robert DiNiro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci all put in admirable performances. For me, it is impossible to delineate whose is superior. DiNiro's eastern cowboy, Stone's addicted, insecure hustler, and Pesci's violent punk all shine with acing eloquence and nuance.
The picture is pretty -- there's no other way to say it. And, as always, Scorsese's use of contenmporary music creates a soundtrack that tells a part of the story by itself.
This gem has been polished up in this presentation to the point that it shines like it was meant to. The seventies never looked so good.
