Editor's Notes and Comments:

Description:
Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-karat greed toppled an empire. Las Vegas, 1973, is the setting for this fact-based story about the Mob's multimillion-dollar casino operation, where fortunes and lives were made and lost with a roll of the dice.

Amazon.com:
Director Martin Scorsese reunites with members of his GoodFellas gang (writer Nicholas Pileggi; actors Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Frank Vincent) for a three-hour epic about the rise and fall of mobster Sam 'Ace' Rothstein (De Niro), a character based on real-life gangster Frank 'Lefty' Rosenthal. (It's modeled after on Wiseguy and GoodFellas and Pileggi's true crime book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas.) Through Rothstein, the picture tells the story of how the Mafia seized, and finally lost control of, Las Vegas gambling. The very first hour plays like a fascinating documentary, intricately detailing the inner workings of Vegas casinos. Sharon Stone is the stand out among the actors; she nabbed an Oscar nomination for her role as the voracious Ginger, the glitzy call girl who becomes Rothstein's wife. The film is not as fast paced or gripping as Scorsese's earlier gangster pictures (Mean Streets and GoodFellas), but it's still absorbing. And, hey--it's Scorsese! --Jim Emerson

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GANGSTER MOVIES, I COULD NOT WAIT FOR THIS TO COME OUT ON BLU RAY........HOWEVER I HAVE GOTTEN TWO COPYS OF THIS FINE MOVIE ON BLU RAY.........AND THEY BOTH WILL NOT PLAY PAST THE UNIVERSAL LOGO........HOPEFULLY THIS PROBLEM WILL BE RESOLVED......SOON!!!!

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - great move
What can I say? De Niro and Pesci in vegas, one of my all time favorite mob movies!!! :D



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - One of Martin's BEST
A near flawless film. Many probably don't agree, but I do place this one, 1 notch above Goodfellas. Don't get me wrong, Goodfellas is a great film in it's own right, but for me Casino takes the cake. For a 3 hour film it passes quickly and is wholly entertaining. One of my favorite aspects is the performances. I am not a huge Sharon Stone fan, but Martin manages to get a full out dramatic performance out of her, definitely her best role in her entire film career to date. I can watch this film once a year and never get bored and I always watch from beginning to end. I believe this is his most underrated mob movie, which is unfortunate, because it is definitely my favorite.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Awsome
One of the best mob movies ever made!
It's about time that they put it on blue-ray, I've been waiting for a long time for this to happen.
