Scorsese really brings out the best in them. One reason why I love this movie are the incredible performances by every cast member. All these storylines spin out of control, leading to a grande finale. It also portrays his realtionship with his friend Nicky Santoro (Pesci), who is a mobster himself, and Ace's pursuit of making Ginger (Stone) falling in love with him. The movie follows the life of Sam 'Ace' Rothstein (de Niro), a well known gambling handicapper, as he runs a mob-owned casino in Las Vegas. The lights, the slot machines buzzing and the shady looking people paint a perfect picture of a Las Vegas era that has long gone.īut let me tell you a little bit about the story without spoiling the movie for you:

The movie captures the whole gambling vibe brilliantly. That's why I immediatly fell in love with it. I played a lot of poker back in the days, so I spent a lot of time in casinos.

'Casino' directed by Martin Scorsese - starring Robert de Niro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone - won my heart by storm when I watched it for the first time.
