Great movie, a masterpiece. Top 10 gangster movie, serio. Ace mess up the minute he tries to handcuff the hyna. From then on it's a wrap ese. Nicky mane, he a G. Good stuff.

Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone. Now there's a group of people with which to make a movie. Casino takes place in Las Vegas in the 70s. Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro) is sent to Vegas by the mob to run a casino for them. After a while they also send Nicky Santoro (Pesci) to keep the wheels running and to act as muscle for Rothstein. Unfortunately, these two have very different ideas on how things should be run. Ace would like nothing more than to run his casino, pay his "honest" dues to the mob and to just sit back and relax. Whereas Nicky wants to climb all the way to the top, no matter how many bodies he has to leave on his wake.This movie is often compared to Goodfellas, Scorsese's previous masterpiece. And I can definitely see why. We have the mob, gangsters a plenty, rags to riches themes, and even two of the same actors, although Pesci is deservedly in a much bigger role this time around.And yet Goodfellas it ain't. It's plenty good on its own merits, but it lacks that degree of identifiability a proper old time gangster film has. The 70s and Las Vegas muddle up the story, make it seem that much dirtier. Drugs flow freely, no one can be trusted and none of the main characters is at all likable. Which is most definitely the point, but it is also the reason why I prefer Goodfellas. A much better comparison mood-wise would be Scarface, although that takes an even harsher stance on the viability of the gangster lifestyle. Whereas this movie is kind of half-n-half.Still, a good movie by any measure. Well worth a watch for all fans of the gangster genre.

Casino is without a doubt one of Scorsese's most underrated picture to date.The character portrayal by DeNiro and Pesci are incredible. Well written and memorable performances - my personal favourite Pesci movie. The on screen chemistry between the two (and Sharon Stone) is what makes this film great. I've watched this film way to many times to count. Any time this is on TV I stop what I'm doing and watch till the end. The story and score of this film go together perfectly. A must watchMust see for any gangster film fan (any film fan in general)10/10

Robert DeZero over-does his 'cigarette holding' in every freaking scene to the point where it becomes unintentional humor. Him and the little short director, Martin Snoresayzee, were too stupid to realize this.That was just one of the many screw-ups in this repetitive flick. Joe Pudgy is on hand (again) to play a gangster. Portraying DeZero's wife is Sharon Stoned. There's really no point to this movie except to team DeZero, Snoresayzee, Pudgy, and Stoned. In the role of Pudgy's right-hand man is Frank Pissant; playing the mob's lawyer is Kevin Potluck; in the part of DeZero's lawyer is former real-life mob lawyer, Oscar Hoodman.Zionism is alive as usual in this lame movie filled with the 'f-word' so we'll all think it's really cool. Of course, intelligent people know that it's not. Same old DeZero-Snoresayzee-Pudgy garbage.
