Synopsis

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.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
blumdeluxe "Casino" tells the story of Mafia families, trying to enter the nightlife of Las Vegas. While everything is going more than smooth in the beginning, risk is rising when some of the involved develop own interests that could be most dangerous for the legal impression of the project.Some films just manage to instantly convince you that you're watching something special. This is one of them. Although the plot is nothing new or unseen, the storytelling is carried out so skillfully that it is hard not be drawn into the story right away. The film establishes original and exciting characters, even though I have to confess that the love story was the only weakness of the production for me. But the plausibility, the masterful tempo and flow of the film make up for this by far.All in all you shouldn't miss out on this piece that is not only a pleasure for fans of the genre but for anyone interested in movies, since it shows how to master a certain sort of film.
jammsg 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.
jodyfranz I haven't rewatched this one in a long time. This is a great mobster movie, up there with Goodfellas and GodFather. The acting is great, although I found Joe Pesci as a lady's man a little hard to believe and doubt he would have been cast in todays Hollywood (you know if he was still young that is, but he was on fire in the 90's). I am not a fan of Sharon Stone but she is excellent in this movie as well.For a movie that is just under 3hrs it moves pretty fast, has lots of action gets pretty tense near the end and there are some brutally violent scenes. It also takes place in the 70's and 80's so everything looks dated and it's supposed to so this movie ages really well. I am adding this to my list of movies I will or would recommend to rewatch over the years.
rdoyle29 It's inevitable that you end up comparing "Casino" to "Goodfellas", which is too bad because it doesn't really stand up to that comparison (very little does). "Casino" has a lot of great performances in great scenes with great dialogue, but it doesn't really hold together as a great narrative. I get the feeling while watching it that I could re- order most of the scenes and it would play just as well. I think it's because the subject matter here is a lot bigger, and the sprawling 3 hour film still feels like it's leaving out a lot as it crams a ton of dense detail into it's narration. A really good Scorsese film, but not a great one.
