Casino Review

Whether you are looking for a thrill from gambling or a luxurious setting for special occasions, a casino can provide an unforgettable experience. The lights, sounds, and layout of casinos are carefully designed to make the experience immersive, encouraging you to gamble longer and spend more money. But there are many other things to do in a casino, from meeting new people to enjoying shows and soaking up the atmosphere.

For all their bluster and bravado, the characters in Casino are not really heroes. The film is ultimately a tragedy of greed and corruption, with each character mired in violence and treachery. But the movie is also a fascinating look at how Vegas has changed and grown over time, with a focus on how the mafia lost control of this desert city to huge gambling corporations. It’s a story that illustrates the inevitability of human tragedy, and no one does it better than Sharon Stone, who gives what may be the best performance of her career.

When it was first released, Casino received some backlash because of its similarities to Goodfellas. However, when viewed in the context of the wider Scorsese filmography, Casino is a masterpiece. There are so many details in this movie that make it work, from the tacky 1970s period decor to little moments like Ace ordering the cooks to put “exactly the same amount of blueberries in every muffin.” Ultimately, this is a film about how fucked up the mafia business is, and no one does it better than Joe Pesci.
