A modern cinema classic.

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2007)

"Casino" is another modern classic from Martin Scorsese. Drawing parallels with his earlier "Goodfellas", "Casino" again teams Scorsese up with writer Nicholas Pileggi. The result is a truly engaging tale of mobsters setting up a new gambling empire in Las Vegas and the subsequent ripple effects that involve the local authorities and the police.
With an incredible cast, superbly realistic visuals and dynamic direction, "Casino" is an unforgettable experience. Violent, gritty and uncompromising, it is a hard-hitting story but extremely entertaining nonetheless. De Nero and Pesci are simply amazing in their respective roles and the energy between these two actors is unique.
A joy from beginning to end, "Casino" is an example of a perfect movie. There's nothing you'd want to change about this film. It's full of memorable scenes that are rich with outstanding performances and dialogue and it simply demands a repeat viewing.
10 out of 10. Marvellous.
