Director Martin Scorsese reunites with members of his GoodFellas gang (writer Nicholas Pileggi; actors Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Frank Vincent) for a three-hour epic about the rise and fall of mobster Sam “Ace” Rothstein (De Niro), a character based on real-life gangster Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal. (It’s modeled after on Wiseguy and GoodFellas and Pileggi’s true crime book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas.) Through Rothstein, the picture tells the story of how the Mafia seized, and finally lost control of, Las Vegas gambling. The first hour plays like a fascinating documentary, intricately detailing the inner workings of Vegas casinos. Sharon Stone is the stand out among the actors; she nabbed an Oscar nomination for her role as the voracious Ginger, the glitzy call girl who becomes Rothstein’s wife. The film is not as fast paced or gripping as Scorsese’s earlier gangster pictures (Mean Streets and GoodFellas), but it’s still absorbing. And, hey–it’s Scorsese! –Jim Emerson

What can I say? De Niro and Pesci in vegas, one of my all time favorite mob movies!!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of Martin’s BEST
A near flawless film. Many probably don’t agree, but I do place this one, 1 notch above Goodfellas. Don’t get me wrong, Goodfellas is a great film in it’s own right, but for me Casino takes the cake. For a 3 hour film it passes quickly and is wholly entertaining. One of my favorite aspects is the performances. I am not a huge Sharon Stone fan, but Martin manages to get a full out dramatic performance out of her, definitely her best role in her entire film career to date. I can watch this film … Read More
