The inner-workings of a corrupt Las Vegas casino are exposed in Martin Scorsese's story of crime and punishment. The film chronicles the lives and times of three characters: "Ace" Rothstein (Robert De Niro), a bookmaking wizard; Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), a Mafia underboss and longtime best friend to Ace; and Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone, in a role she was born to play), a leggy ex-prostitute with a fondness for jewelry and a penchant for playing the field. Ace plays by the rules (albeit Vegas rules, which, as he reminds the audience in voiceover, would make him a criminal in any other state), while Nicky and Ginger lie, cheat, and steal their respective ways to the top. The film's first hour and a half details their rise to power, while the second half follows their downfall as the FBI, corrupt government officials, and angry mob bosses pick apart their Camelot piece by piece.

Would you believe all the copies of this movie were considered 'lost' at our local libraries? It appears that once people watch this movie, they enjoy watching it over and over again and seem reluctant to give it back.

Scorsese hits it again
Martin Scorsese made a great flick with CASINO.
He always elicits great performances from his actors. In this case - Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, James Woods, Don Rickles and Alan King.
I like that Scorsese doesn't romanticize the mob, but plays it real.
