Think about this before you decide whether or not to see the movie.

It's filled with obscenities, nasty folks and a few scenes of horrific violence.

This is because 'Goodfellas' was mostly just about violence and crime.whereas 'Casino' seemed to have more story and wasn't always about excessive violence and nastiness.not that the film is in any way a 'nice' picture. And, in this sense, I enjoyed the film much more than 'Goodfellas'.also with the same stars and same director. Seeing Ace dealing with crooked gamblers was especially interesting. The parts of this film I enjoyed the most were when you learned about how Vegas operated. How and what happens to each you'll have to see for yourself. Eventually, the pair end up having a downfall. Unlike Ace who had a veneer of honesty about him, Nicky was a hood.and didn't mind this. As for Nicky, as you'd expect with a Joe Pesci character, he's a bit of a nut-job.often out of control and letting anger govern most of his decisions. He was tough.but basically honest for a mobster. As for Ace, he was a smart man who was in charge of one of Vegas' top casinos. Sometimes Ace and Nicky (Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci) were in scenes together.often they were apart.each doing his own thing.

The film is unusual in that it has two leading men with parallel stories. However, despite being very violent in spots, the film turned out to be very was far more than just violence and had an interesting look at the mob influence in Las Vegas back in the day. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about that aspect of the film.I generally avoid violent films.which is why I resisted watching 'Casino' for a long time. There is rather infrequent strong language in this, and that is the only real objectionable material in it. The anecdotes alone are very much worth watching this documentary for. It's edited well, and informative and entertaining throughout. This is well-paced, with a 20 minute running time. We hear about Pesci and DeNiro, how the first was in general during production and how the latter helped Sharon out. They go into the off-camera relationships between the actors, the many interesting casting choices, some of Scorsese's directorial methods, and more. The person who gets the most time(meanwhile, it never gets to be boring) is Stone, and we get the full back-ground story for her taking the role, and delivering her astounding performance. It consists of interviews, clips of the movie, behind-the-scenes footage and stills. This is one of six featurettes on the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD of Casino, and one of the four of them that have their own page here on the site.
