Not as good as Goodfellas

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 2002)

I am a huge fan of Scorsese's films. When I first saw Casino I thought that it was not as good as Goodfellas. This was because the two films share many similarities and are bound to be compared, and in my opinion Goodfellas will always be superior. However Casino is a good film on its own and the more times I've seen it, the more I've appreciated it. People should not dismiss it as a Goodfellas rip-off. For fans of the gangster genre, this film will not disappoint. One thing must be said however. The violence in this film is very very shocking and disturbing, so if you are planning to watch this with a lady, make sure she has a strong stomach.
