\"Casino\" <\/p>\n

Casinos are exciting places with an energy that\u2019s hard to replicate. They\u2019re usually filled with lights, music, champagne glasses clinking around tables and a sense of adventure that makes people feel like they\u2019re stepping into an alternate reality. It\u2019s the kind of place where you can get a rush just by sitting at a slot machine or playing poker. The fact that you never know when your luck will change just adds to the excitement.<\/p>\n

In many ways, Casino is a spiritual sequel to Scorsese\u2019s Goodfellas. The film lays bare the mafia\u2019s intricate web of control over Vegas, with tendrils stretching to politicians, Teamsters unions and even the Midwest mob based out of Kansas City. De Niro is perfect as the stoic, old-school mobster Ace Rothstein while Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone give outstanding performances.<\/p>\n

In the end, it\u2019s the violence that really packs a punch in this movie. Scenes involving the torture of a man with a vice, the murder of Rothstein by a team of men, and the suicide of Stone\u2019s character are shocking but all too real. Scorsese doesn\u2019t use violence purely for shock value or style, however; he faithfully portrays what happens in the mafia\u2019s shadowy underworld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
