great film, great soundtrack

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 1999)

An extremely captivating movie, Casino will suck you into its world. Scorcese's films often have a subtly seducing rhythym to them, and this one is no different. I came into this one expecting a rehash of his other movies, but came away pleasantly surprised (not to mention disturbed by the ultra-violent scenes, especially a sickening scene at the end with Joe Pesci and his brother, but it's what's to be expected in these types of movies; it definitely did not detract from the movie).
Great performances by Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and an underrated performance by Sharon Stone, but the real star here is the terrific soundtrack, which not only adds much to the movie but is also a great listen-to on its own.
