Casino,,, vegas style

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2008)

First i don't think that this is a sequel to Goodfellas in any way shape or form,, I loved this movie from start to finish,, i am a big Deniro/Pesci fan,, i loved seeing Don Rickles in here as well,, Sharon Stone was hot in here as per usual. This movie is based on a true story as well,, It takes place in the 70's at the Vegas heyday,, when the mobsters were right in the thick of things in the Casino industry,, the Teamsters Pension fund to be exact.. The cast of characters in this movie is just endless,, like James Woods a small role, but very effective in here. The plot is very good ,, the bosses give Sam "Ace" Rothstein a casino to run,, hire a front man,, to make things look on the up and up,, and then the midwest bosses start skimming the casino,, ie. doing short counts,, losing fill slips... and what really does it for me, is the accuracy of filming in the count room,, i used to get in the count room when i worked the casino's "back east" in the late 80's and 90's, and it's pretty accurate,, cept for maybe the guy in the suit coming in and walking back out,, that would never happen,but hey,, it's pretty accurate,, the hard count room,, soft count room,, the cage,, all of that is real casino stuff,, i spent 10 years in one.. anyway back to the movie,, i thought that it was wonderful,, Robert Deniro has all of the class , charm , and charisma you could ask for ,, Joe Pesci,, steals the shows for me,, as the muscle in the movie,, i mean puttting a man's head in a vice,, very neat idea ,, if you wanna get information out of him,, all in all i would recommend this movie to anybody who is a fan of gangster movies.. 10 of 10 for me.
