great film

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2007)

From another reviewer about Joe Pesci: "He can act but he isn't all that good in the bad guy role. I dunno it just wasn't that good. It isn't worth the buy." Huh? Are you OK? Pesci is the perfect bad guy, and the film borders on perfection in my book. I love Rickles cast as the manager, and his joke about the private jet problems, "Hey, better down here than up there, you know what I mean". Pescis' scene rousting the 2 hoods inside the Tangiers is just typical of his acumen as an actor. The final scene of Sharon Stones' demise backed by the over-echoed Animals song "House of the Rising Sun" is sheer brilliance. Solid 9/10.
