CASINO NOW AVAILABLE

CASINO NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE CASINO FROM IMDB

This Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like quality of Las Vegas--it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal, cruel one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970's and '80's are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw--Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral of drugs and violence.

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVE CASINO FROM DVDTALK

The Movie: "Casino" is a fascinating, exciting picture that gets occasionally gets sidetracked by a couple noticable problems. Martin Scorsese's 1995 picture starts off remarkably well. After a short opening, we are lead into the heart of Las Vegas by one Sam "Ace" Rothstein. The mob is skimming thousands out of the Casinos of the city - in one particularly interesting scene, the camera goes into the back rooms and we see the money coming in in almost unimaginable amounts. We also see the rivers that break off from the main stream. Rothstein is joined by several people from all parts of the mob, but there's one individual who'd cause the most trouble. Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci) is an old friend of Ace, but he's extremely volatile and violent, a dangerous criminal who forces his weight around the city - soon enough, he's got his own gang who starts to draw too much attention to themselves, which results in stand-offs between the two old friends. Something else comes between the two, as well. Ginger McKenna (Sharon Stone) is spotted one day by Ace while he's watching the cameras looking down on the casino. He's fallen for her, but she's going to end up causing him more trouble than he'd expected. The two are enjoying one another at first, but she's soon heading back to her low-end criminal ex, played well by James Woods. Public fights and the high-cost of her company soon threaten not only their marriage, but Ace's business in Vegas.
