Martin Scorsese’s operatic recounting of how organized crime built a gambler’s paradise out of the Nevada desert could just be the best film ever made on capitalism in America. CASINO’s Las Vegas is the cauldron of vice and greed in which we’re all stuck—a place where we’re never really in control of anything no matter how much power we might think we have.
Robert De Niro—as expert handicapper “Ace” Rothstein—and Joe Pesci—as enforcer Nicky Santoro, the maniacal muscle who does Ace’s dirty work—are sent west by the mob to head operations at the Tangiers Casino. They’re making money hand over fist, until an impetuous, street smart hustler named Ginger (a magnificently frayed Sharon Stone) begins to drive a wedge between the two men. It’s a triumvirate of three of the best performances you’ll ever see, buttressed by dozens and dozens of individually perfect moments and minor characters that are just as memorable
CASINO is not just the red-headed stepchild of the more popular GOODFELLAS. It’s a masterful assemblage of riffs, digressions and bits in service of a broader portrait of the inferno that is America. A kaleidoscope of absolute hilarity, horror and human degradation at every level, the only thing comparable to watching this movie is doing an absolute mountain of cocaine.
Why take a chance?
