Should be in the top 100. Scorsese does it yet again.

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2006)

I must say I am a lover of gangsta films and casino is one of my favourites just behind goodfellas. In my opinion better than The Godfather. Casino is a mob story about a multi billion dollar casino operation that Sam 'Ace' Rothstein (Robert De Niro) owns. He is joined in Vegas by a mad mob boss; Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci) to make sure no one messed with Ace. Both De Niro and Pesci give fine performances. Joe Pesci as usual plays the mad man absolutely brilliantly. Even though these two were on top form, Sharon Stone gives a unforgettable performance. Stone was robbed of an Oscar and this film also deserved an Oscar. If someone can tell me a better film in 1995 I'd like to know what it is because it would take something special to over shine this masterpiece.
This film, even though so brilliant and watchable was rated 18 for a good reason. There is about 400 f-words mostly used by Joe pesci and the c-word is used once by Robert De Niro. Also this film has some of the most disturbing violence I have ever seen. In one scene the mad Joe Pesci puts a guys head in a vice and squeezes it until the mans eye pops out. Thats just to name one violent scene, believe me there are many more.
Besides that the film is amazing . The acting is brilliant and the film is highly recommended to any gangsta movie fan, or even if you don't like gangsta movies you will enjoy it. Fantastic, but not for the young ones.
