Synopsis

Robert DeNiro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci are at the center of this glamorous but hard-hitting film about the Mob in Las Vegas. DeNiro stars as Ace Rothstein (based on the life of Frank Rosenthal), a long-suffering professional gambler who is saved from destruction by his childhood pal Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci). Rothstein marries Ginger McKenna (Stone), a chip hustler and con artist who very nearly destroys Rothstein's friendship with Santori. Despite this film''s excesses (or perhaps because of them), the old Mob-dominated gambling town emerges as a twisted but exciting and seductive pleasure ground where a tangible, tense uncertainty underlays all the hype. Based on Nicholas Pileggi''s book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas. Martin Scorsese---USA---1995---179 mins.
