Joe Pesci is good here, playing someone who is quite a lot like his character in Goodfellas, a short tempered and violent person however I actually feel that his performance here has more depth. Robert De Niro is really good as always, and really fills his role here as Ace Rothstein, who is in a high position, running the casino. Overall, it doesn’t matter what movie you see first they are both brilliant films in their own right. Casino’s violence was much more brutal and unflinching than Goodfellas’s, especially a scene near the end that involves baseball bats in a cornfield. The film actually felt darker than Goodfellas, especially with the violence. What is a positive is is that by the end I felt that I learnt more about the characters in this movie more than Goodfellas.

Regarding the characters in this movie, I didn’t feel any empathy or any kind connection to them, where as some people may be able to feel that in Goodfellas to some of the characters (even when they aren’t glorified) – this isn’t a negative it is just something I have noticed. The narration is mostly done by Ace and Nicky and we really learn about how they thought, what they thought of and how things in Las Vegas worked. Once again, Martin Scorsese has again created a masterpiece that has made a significant impact on me and many others as Casino presents the best that film has to offer.įrom the start, Casino had my attention and I couldn’t stop watching despite the movie being nearly 3 hours long. It unfortunately often gets overshadowed by the more well-known Goodfellas, a film that it is very similar to. It is wonderfully shot, brilliantly acted and has a style that really gets me interested in the type of world the characters are in.

A lot of movie buffs have movies that changed their viewpoint of film just being entertainment, to the idea that film is an art form.
