Not Martin's best, but better than most

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2014)

(70%) "Goodfellas in Las Vegas" holds up as one of the better crime movies of the 1990's. It's a movie of two halves with the first covering the operation as a whole with quite a lot of detail regarding the inner workings of their sleaze pit, and the second deals more with the downfall of each character. Sharon Stone plays one of the most hateful god-diggers ever, and Joe Pesci is more or less the same character he played in Goodfellas. The movie ends with other side of all that money, jewels, and luxury in a bitter tasting manner with a really quite brutal death scene highlighting the reality of greed and power and where it can lead. This is undoubtedly a good film, but Goodfellas is better, funnier, and overall stronger.
