I disagree - the overall story was just a little less compelling than Goodfellas - and, in particular there was no Ray Liotta as glue to hold the film together - Deniro was great, Pesci was great, and Stone gave an inspired performance - I don't think she's all that great of an actress, but, as I understand it, she nailed the role - as it was based on a real person.


I've gone back and forth in my brain on this one. I didn't know if I didn't like her because her performance was terrible or if her performance was so brilliant that it made me hate her character even more.

I decided to go with the former and stick to my guns.

And I like Casino a lot more than most people do.

I will watch Casino from almost any point I catch it on, until the end. There are very few movies I can say this about. It is the "more fun" of the 2 Scorcese/Deniro/Pesci gangster film, IMHO, although I recognize that Goodfellas is clearly, demonstrably the superior film.

But Casino is one of my top rewatchable movies of all time - I'm fascinated with organized crime and gambling.
