Directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, and Joe Pesci.
Just watched this recently for the first time in a long while. I still like it quite a bit, but it's nowhere close to Goodfellas. It would be a lot better if Sharon Stone as Ginger didn't annoy the hell out of me.
8.5/10

I have it at an 8.5, but I voted 9 as well, because it's so well-made. |

Ginger is supposed to be annoying!
Ginger: So what? So who fucking blew you in the parking lot before you came in, huh?
Ace Rothstein: You make me sick, you fuck. Once a fuckin' hooker, always a hooker.
My neck hurts with that pen scene.
You hear a little girl, Frankie? Is that a little girl, Ace? Is that a little fuckin' girl? What happened to the fuckin' tough guy who told my friend to stick it up his fuckin' ass?

Is "Casino" violent?

9/10 – one of Scorsese's best. I rate it well ahead of Goodfellas. Interesting looks at ownership fronts, money laundering, and casino management. Great performance by Sharon Stone. Every man has a Ginger in his life at some point.

While it may appear to be a redux of Goodfellas, Casino does enough of its own thing to stand out as a solid crime drama. The titular casino and city of Vegas are like actual characters in the story and the film does a good job of weaving the many characters throughout. One of Scorsese's best.
I thought Sharon Stone was great in this film. Yeah, she's annoying at parts, but that's Ginger's character - she's a beautiful woman who draws you in, then reveals the nasty underbelly underneath.

At nearly 3 hours it has it's flaws, but I thought they were well spent, even if I didn't get all the money transactions.

B+
I really never minded its length, it can be approached like a 3 part mini series quite easily. I probably enjoy the more flawed characters of Casino than the more immortal ones in Goodfellas. Casino for me is Pesci's film, & having him at odds a bit with DeNiro here is more exciting than pure chummy.

James Woods, Don Rickles, and LQ Jones also contribute some good moments.

Rickles I'm not sure has 5 lines in the whole movie?? Feels like it anyways. Woods didn't play 'himself' which I often can't stand with him. |

He was well cast in X-the Man With the X-Ray Eyes and I happen to think John Cleese was the best thing about Branagh's Frankenstein. lol |
