Scorsese at his best

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 1998)

Casino is one of the most interestingly constructed pictures I've seen. In the tradition of Goodfellas and Stone's JFK and Nixon, Casino comes off like a documentary, yet flows like a epic. This film is worth watching for the film-making alone. the style is brilliant. De Niro and Pesci are once again great as gansters and Sharon Stone is very good as De Niro's object of desire. A warning, however, this film has some very violent scenes.
