Two Line Reviews - #141

Movie: Casino (1995)


Plot: A tacky and smart casino supervisor's private and professional lives are jeopardised by the betrayal of his wife and a long time friend. Along with that, it brings down the thriving Vegas casino empire to a close.In short, replace the boxer of Raging Bull and his masochistic tendencies with a Casino boss with smart brains, you get another gripping film that is Casino.

Highlights:
  • Scorsese's unique narrative style with a background narration by Sam/Nicky & the background tracks running throughout the film.
  • The amazing screen presence that Robert De Niro,Joe Pesci & Sharon Stone garner.
  • The climax carnage.
Lowlights:
Lousy act of police in nabbing De Niro even after having set everything against him.

My Rating: 9.0/10
