Stop comparing it to GoodFellas!

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2003)

Casino is an excellent film that stands on its own two feet.
GoodFellas was also an excellent film. Both are about the mob
and both star De Niro and Pesci and are directed by Scorsese and
written by Pelligi. That's about the extent of the similarities.
To quote Roger Ebert, Casino is not just concerned with its
characters but with history. This is historical fiction. This movie
takes you inside Las Vegas. This movie knows.
In the end, it may not be as appealing or popular as GoodFellas.
But it isn't fare to call it an imitation because it deals with
something completely different.
This movie is worth seeing. De Niro, as always, is flawless.
