In early-1970s Las Vegas, low-level mobster Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro) gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino. At first, he's a great success in the job, but over the years, problems with his loose-cannon enforcer Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), his ex-hustler wife Ginger (Sharon Stone), her con-artist ex Lester Diamond (James Woods) and a handful of corrupt politicians put Sam in ever-increasing danger. Martin Scorsese directs this adaptation of Nicholas Pileggi's book.

Critics Consensus

Impressive ambition and bravura performances from an outstanding cast help Casino pay off in spite of a familiar narrative that may strike some viewers as a safe bet for director Martin Scorsese.

While it does seem a bit too familiar at times, "Casino" is still a fantastic film that makes use of its powerhouse cast.

An insightful look into mafia controlled Las Vegas and the cut throat nature of their world. However, the relationships portrayed in the movie I found less convincing.

Another fantastic Martin Scorsese film. Great acting, great script, great cinematography and of course great direction. One of my favorite mob films. Even the long run-time (178 minutes) isn't a problem.

Ploy/storyline: Excellent. Movie MVP: Robert De Niro was great as Sam "Ace" Rothstein, however, I'm inclined to give this Joe Pesci due to his portrayal as Nicky Santoro. Replay value: Strong.

Casino is nothing less than an epic, three hours long, with a cast of hundreds, stuffed with great victory and even greater tragedy.

Rated: 3.5/4

Adam Nayman

The Ringer

Without stinting on the viciousness, Scorsese still conveys an element of nostalgia in Casino, although it's less because the movie is convinced by Ace and Nicky's vision of the good old days than it is skepticism over what will eventually replace them.

Entertainment Weekly

[Stone] seems to be trying to enter a more passionate movie, where a neurotic gold digger could at least have a good time. By the end of Casino, for all its craftsmanly bravura, you may want to join her.

Rated: B-

Film Frenzy

The first half, which details the inner workings of the gambling industry, is compelling, but the human drama that takes over is noticeably lacking.

Rated: 2.5/4

Solzy at the Movies

Casino is another solid epic for Martin Scorsese but it doesn't feel like it is ever at the same level as his masterpiece works.

Rated: 3.5/5

Flickering Myth

Casino is a film showing a director at the top of his game in the middle of an especially hot streak. If not Scorsese’s strongest effort it is certainly worthy of appreciation.
