If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Casino (1995) is hands down one of the best films I've ever seen in my entire life. I say that because honestly, there just aren't many films that are this well done, it's pretty rare to find a gem like this one. Now, some may not care for it simply because it's just not their cup of tea, but nonetheless it's still a great film. The writing is really perfect for the kind of film it is. A record of the most F bombs ever spoken in a film was set by Casino, before Wolf of Wall Street came along that is. I would probably say the 400+ F bombs used was overkill if it would have been a different kind of film, but it fit perfectly for this kind. The writing definitely fits the characters. The characters are wonderfully deep too, we learn so much about them and we get to see them played by such great actors. Pesci, De Niro, and Stone all turn in marvelous performances, especially Stone (this was her Academy Award nomination). The story is very interesting and you won't be bothered by the somewhat long runtime because of the good pacing and the level of interest. There is just so much happening with these interesting, very damaged characters that you won't wanna turn away, I sure didn't. I love this film and highly recommend it to anyone who likes this type of thing. 10/10!

Exciting gets right to the point and delivers satisfaction for this subject matter. If you like movies with gambling, the mob, hit men, gangsters, money flowing, and that don't tax your attention span but instead compliment it then this is for you. Good directing, acting, supporting players and location (casinos and Las Vegas) all add to the realism. In real life, this type of living depicted and in scenes in this movie are despicable, sad, and while true to life represent a waste of life. I mean how many times can you gamble, have sex, eat, have best cloths, shoes and be pampered and then repeat and repeat again? They did a Twilight Zone on this where the guy dies and he enters into a world of having everything non-stop until it drives him nuts. He requests to go to hell being fed-up with this "heaven" and is told this is hell. Spot-on to make my point. Be entertained, satisfy your curiosity, let your inner gangster come out but then come back to your world. Good movie to eat with and have a tasty drink followed by a decent snack as we follow the characters. This movie has what I always look for in a quality movie i.e. memorable scenes. That means you will watch it again and again and it also qualifies for your collection too. Okay you lovers of this talented group of actors and professionals, get to watching and enjoy!

I find it strange how few people mentioned love and marriage when writing about this movie. I think mixing these two with criminals running the business is a combination which makes Casino what it is - a movie with unbelievably smoothly told story which covers many aspects of running the business but personal life as well. That is important since it's not sheer incompetence which brought this guys down; it's lust and dishonest in their personal sphere, especially Sam's unhappy marriage. That's why this is the very first line in the movie: "When you love someone, you've gotta trust them." That, and other few lines, immediately set the tone and give us the key for proper understanding of the movie.On to the acting. De Niro performing Ace has now become my favorite performance. He's totally convincing in distancing himself from mob guys and positioning as someone how knows the "know-how". He isn't a street gangster but a handicapper given a casino to run. That's also important because Casino is, in contrast to Goodfellas, a movie about guys higher in mafia hierarchy. It's sad to see De Niro now starring in movies "Dirty Grandpa" alike. Joe Pesci in funny and intimidating, almost psychotic. Sharon Stone really did deliver once in a lifetime execution. Accompanied with other great cast members, Casino feels and runs like a quasi-documentary; it's convincing and realistic.To make it short, Scorsese managed to re-tell a multiply layered story based on actual events and give a good insight on how Las Vegas works. I'd recommend you to check out real characters and actual events after you see the movie to broaden your scope and realize with what commitment to details was Casino made.

It's impossible not to compare 'Casino' to another of Scorsese's films - the gangster classic 'Goodfellas', which is my favourite film of his. 'Casino' is strikingly similar in style but is unfortunately overshadowed and often overlooked due to the success and popularity of 'Goodfellas'.But while 'Casino' may be in the shadow of 'Goodfellas', it is still an excellent movie in its own right. The film oozes style with stunning cinematography and great attention to detail in every frame. In terms of the plot, I can't say it's anyway near as enthalling as 'Goodfellas', but there is still plenty of entertainment to be had despite the overly long running time.
