Casino

If you have got some time and are looking for a movie to watch without the kids. Casino1 is one of the best 90’s option. Around 180 minutes of movie which you will not be able to take your eyes off the screen. Casino is a classic movie directed by Martin Scorsese and stared by Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone also based on the book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas2 . It shows all the glamour of the 60/70/80’s when Sam Rothstein (Robert De Niro) also called Ace is nominated by a MOB to run one the biggest Casinos in Vegas(Tangiers Casino), as any other mafia film there are a bit of violence specially after Nicky (Joe Pesci) is sent to Vegas to ensure money is delivered and Casino is run “honestly”. Ginger Mckenna (Sharon Stone) plays a prostitute and drug addicted who retires after getting married to Ace, married which does not last long and end being a problem Ace and the mob.

The movie is a truly state of art as it resalts all behind scenes of a casino step by step, amazing picture, costume, hair style, sound track everything to bring you back to the 70’s 80’s and early 90’s3. Casino is also in a kind of narrative format no common nowadays, De Niro describes most of the facts as the get appear on the screen it could be a bit annoying for those not used to it. Comparing Casino with Goodfellas, as them both have the same star and are directed by the same person, some people believe Casino is Fredo and Goodfellas is Michael, however for some Casino my be the greatest mafia movie ever.We strongly recommend this old classic.
