    The inner-workings of a corrupt Las Vegas gambling operation are exposed in Martin Scorsese's Casino, a story of crime and punishment built around three interrelated characters: "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro), a bookmaking wizard; Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), a Mafia underboss and longtime best friend to Ace; and Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone, in a role she was born to play), a leggy ex-prostitute with a fondness for jewelry and a penchant for playing the field. Ace plays by the rules (albeit Vegas rules, which, as he reminds the audience in voiceover, would make him a criminal in any other state), while Nicky and Ginger lie, cheat, and steal their respective ways to the top. The film's first hour and a half details their rise to power, while the second half follows their downfall as the FBI, corrupt government officials, and angry mob bosses pick apart their Camelot piece by piece.

    June 12, 2005: This is certainly not Martin Scorsese's best film, but that just says what a great director he is. With this film, the two who brought us "GoodFellas" reunite for a film that is not quite as powerful, but just as skillfully made. This film made few waves when it came out in 1995 as the result of too many people expecting another "GoodFellas" and it received only two Oscar nominations. I am extremely happy for this DVD and hope that many people buy it to extend this film beyond a cult following.

    June 03, 2003: This is a good film from Scorese. It's similar to Goodfellas in that it's a mob movie. And you got DeNiro, Pesci, and some other guy from Goodfellas. But as one other reviewer said before there's nothing wrong with that. Scorese is one of our best directors. The way he uses the camera and the themes that are used in his movies are amazing. This man's a genius. But if you wanna see Scorese at his best rent Raging Bull and Taxi Driver
