A good film but not a masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2010)

Martin Scorsese's Casino follows Sam 'Ace' Rothstein played by De Niro as the man who runs a casino controlled by the mafia in Vegas.
The story revolves in his everyday life in the casino , his problems with his wife Ginger played by Sharon Stone and his conflict with childhood friend Nicky Santoro played by Joe Pesci.
The basic flaws of the movie that keeps it in the category of "good" but not a masterpiece are two 1. After some point it concentrates and spends so much time in Ace's personal life that after a while it gets a little boring (and Sharon Stone is annoying)
2. Joe Pesci repeats himself in the role we saw him in goodfellas.
Overall it's a movie that is definitely good and it's worth the 3 hours you'll have to spend to watch it.
