Amazon.com: Director Martin Scorsese reunites with members of his GoodFellas gang (writer Nicholas Pileggi; actors Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Frank Vincent) for a three-hour epic about the rise and fall of mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro), a character based on real-life gangster Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal. (It's modeled after on Wiseguy and GoodFellas and Pileggi's true crime book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas.) Through Rothstein, the picture tells the story of how the Mafia seized, and finally lost control of, Las Vegas gambling. The first hour plays like a fascinating documentary, intricately detailing the inner workings of Vegas casinos. Sharon Stone is the stand out among the actors; she nabbed an Oscar nomination for her role as the voracious Ginger, the glitzy call girl who becomes Rothstein's wife. The film is not as fast paced or gripping as Scorsese's earlier gangster pictures (Mean Streets and GoodFellas), but it's still absorbing. And, hey--it's Scorsese! --Jim Emerson
Marty has done it again! ^ one word WOW! if you haven't watched this movie yet, what are you waiting for... If your into Soprano type related movies this is a must have! Pesci and DeNiro need I say more?
Yes I updated firmware and no It doesent help and since all I watched was the title menu, thats all this BluRay movie is worth. ^ So spare me your whining about rating the movie. I found nothing visually stunning in the Universal Logo, as tastefully done and family oriented as it was. So I got what I paid for and I'm now rating it. Thanks for reading.
One of the best mob movies ever. ^ Why doesn't Casino get any love? It's one of the best mob movies of all time. Must buy for fans of the genre.
intense story ^ compelling and tragic story with brilliant script and sharp visuals. was great on blu ray. great acting from Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesch.
Blu Ray.... ^ If you saw the film, you know what to expect. The Blu0Ray quality is near perfect! That is all that needs to be said.
