"Casino" is a brilliant movie which tells a true story about mob activity in Las Vegas in the 1770's and the 1980's. In my opinion,tI think "casino" is a far better movie than "Goodfellas." I think "Goodfellas" is a great movie but "Casino" is much better. If I had to choose between the two gangster movie directed by Martin Scorsese movie, I pick "Casino." yes the movie is violent, but so's "Goodfellas." This movie has captured the action of the city of Las Vegas, with first-rate performance by Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone in a over the top performance which earn her an Oscar nomination. Also in the cast is Joe Pesci and Don Rickles in a rare dramatic role. These performances made this movie glow and I really love every minuate of this movie.
