In early-1970s Las Vegas, Sam "Ace" Rothstein gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino.

Reviews

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.

cinephile-27690 This is the movie that introduced me to Martin Scorsese and I was enthralled into it for 3 hours. I have seen a handful of this movies since then. That said, I have to give it a 8 and not a 10 because it has too much profanity. According to this site's parents guide, there are 422 F word uses. At the time, that was the record holder, than Nil By Mouth broke it 2 years later. There does not need to be that many F words and the record has no need whatsoever to be broken! If profanity of this length bothers you, AMC plays it without the language, but it has an hour of commercials added. Also, Roger Ebert gave it 4/4 stars and called it the 5th best movie of 1995. In short, it is a good movie , but not for those offended to language.

classicsoncall Teaming Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in a gangster flick is pretty much a no-brainer, but I couldn't help thinking, especially in the latter hour of the movie, that the picture tried to be just a bit too ambitious for it's own good. At three hours, the picture loses some of it's edge, even with Pesci's manic and over the top characterization of Nicky Santoro, a mob hit man sent to Vegas to keep an eye on Sam 'Ace' Rothstein (De Niro) as the boss of the new Tangiers Hotel. The scene with Tony Dogs (Carl Ciarfalio) with his head in a vise will make you glad you live in a different universe from these guys.The surprise role in this picture had to be that of Ginger McKenna, portrayed by Sharon Stone. If you never thought she had much range as an actress she'll probably change your mind here, especially by the time she's had it with Ace and goes into that trashing, hysterical fit before she gets thrown out of the house. I thought it was a nifty touch when the film makers threw in that Rolling Stones cover of 'Heart of Stone' in an early scene between Ace and Ginger. That was perfect.Overall, not a bad gangster flick, but if ever remade, I'd recommend eliminating most or all of the narration by the principals, and let the action speak for itself. That, and a critical eye for all that's unnecessary to pare the story down to it's essentials. Keep De Niro, Pesci and Stone though, they know how to turn up the heat when you need it most.

mharley01 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
