GoodFellas will always be superior

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2018)

Casino is undoubtedly a well made film. The acting is brilliant, especially from Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci. The writing is great and the story is interesting and intricate. It is brutally violent but these scenes are few and far between enough so that they don't distract from the story.However, it seems a little to familiar to another Scorsese classic, GoodFellas.
The similarities are obvious. There's a voiceover throughout the film, the relationship between De Niro and Stone is greatly similar to Liota and Braccos relationship in GoodFellas. And Pesci is almost the same character. And in the end everyone is taken down. This movie is however, on a much bigger scale and is worth watching for sure. Just, watch a GoodFellas first. GoodFellas will always be better.
