Outstanding

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2007)

An absolute classic.Giving Martin Scorsese Las Vegas to make a gangster movie is like giving Michealangelo the Cistine Chapel to paint in.There's not a scene in the whole thing that you can draw your eyes away from for a second,not a line in it that you can class as unnecessary. The acting from from a superb cast was marvellous,(James Woods must have scrubbed himself clean after the movie was finished because he really became Lester the sleaze-bag). This film has always been considered inferior to Goodfellas(loved it too by the way),but it's every bit as good.Where Goodellas dealt with the street level hoodlum,Casino took us into the boardroom. I'll never tire of watching this movie,in fact,after writing this I'll stick it on the DVD player,lock the doors and lose myself for the next three hours or so.
