Still a good mob movie

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2006)

Casino has to be one of the most underrated films that Martin Scorsese directed in the nineties. The acting by the leads is good and the script is excellent. Robert Deniro gave an Oscar worthy performance and Joes Pesci is chilling yet funny again. Even Sharon Stone is the only one of the three that doesn't come through for me. I do find it funny though that so many of these guys end up in the same gangster movies, do they even have to read the script anymore. Even with that said I do enjoy these films a lot and I hope they keep making them. I would like to see a new mob movie come out. The Sapronos is a good guide but even still I don't know how Deniro would deal with somebody like Tony Saprano. I would like to see a Casino 2, maybe Deniro's character wants to get back into the business, and I am not talking about the sports betting side of the coin.
