A brilliant masterpiece by far....

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 1999)

There's not much one can say about perfection and greatness which definitely go hand in hand with CASINO. Marty Scorsese and Nicholas Pileggi have struck gold once again in this tale of power, lust, and greed in the adolescent Las Vegas of the 70's. The rise and fall of the mafia's strong-hold in Las Vegas is told brilliantly as if its the Holy Roman Empire. Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci together again, what more do you need? Now I loved the voiceovers in GOODFELLAS because it kept a good pace going in the film. Same goes for CASINO, along with excellent cinematography and lighting. Some scenes may be a little too gory for some viewers, but I loved them, it really made the atmosphere more intense and raw. I've heard different responses to Sharon Stone's character, I thought she did a really good job, it's hard to get engrossed in a shallow, heartless role like Ginger. This definitely goes down as one of my all time favorites, a brilliant masterpiece by far. "....And one by one the dominoes began to tumble...."
