Casino

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2006)

One of the best directed and acted films I have ever seen. The direction is totally atmospheric and the cast actually do not seem to be acting - they all appear to be actually who they are portraying - this seems to me to be the number one criterion for a fantastic, knowledgeable, informative film.
I have to say that there is much violence and profanity in it, but, this is necessary to portray the story correctly. The portrayal of the main characters by Stone, Pesci and di Nero are the best I have ever seen.
This film deserves to be listed among the top ten ever made.
Goodfellas is another film in this genre and the above comments about Casino fit here as well.
