Casino (DVD)

excellent film a compelling reality of what lies behind the underworld known as the Mafia. SUPERB!!!

As New York Gangster films go, there are many to choose from. The best ones are journeys following the development of individuals. Put simply, the ones to watch are 'Goodfellas', and this one - 'Casino'. Many simular characters, such as mini maniac Joe Pesci. Strong plot and viewpoints are on show, the struggle for respect and power, sex & violence. Brutal but deserved ending for Joe Pesci's character. Great and stylish film, buy it today. Now gett outta here!!!

not the best gangster film you're ever going to see but really enjoyable especially when you know that its all based on a true story

Greed, deception, money, power, and murder occur between two mobster best friends and a trophy wife over a gambling empire.

This Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like quality of Las Vegas--it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal, cruel one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970's and '80's are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw--Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral of drugs and violence.

Sam 'Ace' Rothstein, a mob-connected casino operator in Las Vegas, attempts a civilized lifestyle with his money-conditional wife, Ginger. Nicky Santoro, a boyhood friend of Ace and now a Made-Man of the Mafia, arrives in town with an ambitious agenda of his own that soon disrupts Ace's life. Before long, Ginger and her long-time leeching lover Lester, along with Nicky's mistakes, causing problems.

A Must See Film!

One of Scorsese's best movies (again!), perfectly balanced between the three central characters, this movie compliments Goodfellas superbly. Joe Pesci is at his manic best again, and De Niro turns in a fantastic performance as always. Highly recommended!

A nice twin disc set of a classic timeless film.

Watched it recently, and whenever on the TV,

can't believe it's been missing from my DVD collection,

but not any longer.

A good quick transaction, very pleased with every asspect of the transaction,
would recomend to anyone.

Well, there's not much things to tell about it(considering this is an old movie) except the whole concept is just so perfect. Award winning classic with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone.. The Two Disc Edition is a recommended for the real enthusiasts.

everything its got a really good story line and all the cast are brilliant its a must have for any dvd collection

Good film not for the faint hearted .It will make you not go and gamble in the casino's around the world but things have changed since this film was made so a lot of people now enjoy a little bet .

I bought this film after a recommendation from a friend. It's a great film with great acting from Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone. It provides a great insight into Casinos and the Mafia.
The only downfall of the film is probably the length, 2 hours 51 minutes, but well worth a watch.
