Which is because he was Alpha.

They bury the threat.

I'm not saying he was entire organization Alpha, he was Desert Alpha. He ran his own ring, got away from the bosses and fricked the bosses' wife. He was murdered for being Alpha and doing his own thing on the side.

I've seen casino and really liked it. Haven't seen all of Goodfellas but what I have seen I've liked.

Huh?

He was stiffing the bosses. And then started fricking the planted "boss" wife.

What movie did you watch?

He was running side gigs in betting, tried to set up his own empire and then started fricking Stone who was the wife of the set-up boss.

What movie did you watch?

Casino. Liotta kinda fricked up Goodfellas but Pesci carried it. Dinero was even in GF but played a great protagonist/victim in Casino.

Goodfellas is better movie. Pesci and Stone in Casino are the best performances.

He was just a hot head with muscle. He was all balls and no brains. fricking another guy’s wife doesn’t make you an alpha...ask Lester.

Just watched Casino for the first time 2 days ago.

I did not enjoy it, and didn't think it was all that great of a movie.

Goodfellas was probably the better plot driven movie, but Casino had better acting IMO. It’s close, but I always liked Casino a little more.

Goodfellas is one of all time favorite movies.

Casino is not far behind, and this is probably only due to the fact that I saw Goodfellas first.

Goodfellas.

Casino did not suck. It just does poorly head to head with Goodfellas.

All the hate Sharon Stone gets for Casino, I think was good acting on her part. Her character is pathetic, insufferable and disgusting. Played the part well. Woman was a junkie.

They seemed to know what to do with him in Casino better than Goodfellas.
