The problem is that this movie has no conscience and no heart. CASINO is a textbook on sin telling you how, when, where and why to do it.

In the end, Ace complains about the big corporations taking over Las Vegas and waxes eloquent about the good old days when the mob ran the town.Īs far as gangsters movie goes, this is Martin Scorsese trying to one up his classic expose, GOODFELLAS: the violence is more vile the soullessness is more pronounced and, the evil is more pervasive. Eventually, the FBI closes in on the mob, and the mob silences everyone who can talk.

As time passes, Ginger grows to hate Ace, falls into an alcohol/drug craze and runs away with her pimp boyfriend several times. She tells Ace that she doesn’t love him, but he buys her affection and they marry. In the midst of this corruption, Ace notices Ginger (Sharon Stone), whose greed is so pronounced that he falls for her. Ace informs us that everybody is skimming, and everybody is watching everybody else skim. Ace is sent to The Tangiers by the mafia bosses in Kansas City to make the casino produce the maximum profits for them. Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci) provides muscle. Ace Rothstein (Robert De Niro) runs the Tangiers casino. More Detail:ĬASINO is three hour look at gangsters in Las Vegas from 1973 to 1983.
