In one word: overrated

Rating: 4/10 (30 June 2013)

After telling a friend I enjoyed The Godfather trilogy, he recommended I watch this film. And I'm sorry to say I totally regret doing so.
This film is the opposite of The Godfather. It has zero emotional content. The characters are intentionally one dimensional, idiotic and therefor impossible to identify with. Most of the movie feature narration, which at first feels welcome and classic, but soon grows tiring because instead of the movie just "happening", the narration disrupts the acting all throughout the 3 hours.
Now I know many might consider this one a classic, but I will bet you right here and now, that non of the actors playing in "Casino" would willingly sit through this 3 hour torture.
