In early-1970s Las Vegas, Sam "Ace" Rothstein gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino. At first, he's a great success in the job, but over the years, problems with his loose-cannon enforcer Nicky Santoro, his ex-hustler wife Ginger, her con-artist ex Lester Diamond and a handful of corrupt politicians put Sam in ever-increasing danger.

Casino is Martin Scorsese out and out. Even if you showed me this film randomly I can look at the traits and say this is a Scorsese movie. The setting is hedonistic Las Vegas and the story is about some friends who decide to setup their empire on the sands. The underlying themes of greed, power, corruption are all evident here and of course the actors shine- Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, James Woods and about a dozen more have seldom been this good. The gorgeous shots of the casinos with Scorsese's stylist approach are amazing. Go watch Casino- It is one of the best films of the 90s.

Casino is undoubtedly a well made film. The acting is brilliant, especially from Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci. The writing is great and the story is interesting and intricate. It is brutally violent but these scenes are few and far between enough so that they don't distract from the story.However, it seems a little to familiar to another Scorsese classic, GoodFellas. The similarities are obvious. There's a voiceover throughout the film, the relationship between De Niro and Stone is greatly similar to Liota and Braccos relationship in GoodFellas. And Pesci is almost the same character. And in the end everyone is taken down. This movie is however, on a much bigger scale and is worth watching for sure. Just, watch a GoodFellas first. GoodFellas will always be better.

Casino (1995) is hands down one of the best films I've ever seen in my entire life. I say that because honestly, there just aren't many films that are this well done, it's pretty rare to find a gem like this one. Now, some may not care for it simply because it's just not their cup of tea, but nonetheless it's still a great film. The writing is really perfect for the kind of film it is. A record of the most F bombs ever spoken in a film was set by Casino, before Wolf of Wall Street came along that is. I would probably say the 400+ F bombs used was overkill if it would have been a different kind of film, but it fit perfectly for this kind. The writing definitely fits the characters. The characters are wonderfully deep too, we learn so much about them and we get to see them played by such great actors. Pesci, De Niro, and Stone all turn in marvelous performances, especially Stone (this was her Academy Award nomination). The story is very interesting and you won't be bothered by the somewhat long runtime because of the good pacing and the level of interest. There is just so much happening with these interesting, very damaged characters that you won't wanna turn away, I sure didn't. I love this film and highly recommend it to anyone who likes this type of thing. 10/10!
