Violent story of vice and virtue not for kids.January 25, 2010
So long as Casino stays focused on the excesses -- of language, of violence, of ambition -- in the life-styles of the rich and infamous, it remains a smart, knowing, if often repetitive, spectacle.August 09, 2006
Scorsese may be flailing here, but Scorsese flailing is more formidable than most directors at the top of their form.January 25, 2010
Poor ol' Marty. Epic, grandiose, visceral film after film. And what thanks does he get? "Yeah... but it's not as good as GoodFellas."July 01, 2013
Casino is Scorsese's 'messy drawer' of a movie; disconnected scenes and stylistic odds and sods... it might be his most idiosyncratic.January 25, 2010
[Stone] seems to be trying to enter a more passionate movie, where a neurotic gold digger could at least have a good time. By the end of Casino, for all its craftsmanly bravura, you may want to join her.January 25, 2010
Simultaneously quite watchable and passionless.April 26, 2011
Overlong and tedious crime drama epic. A kinetic behind-the-scenes look at the Vegas casinos.January 25, 2010
An accomplished film that carries with it the unshakable feeling that we've seen it all before.March 31, 2008
It's not the actors' fault that no one is able to break through the film's gorgeous but chilly surface. You watch Casino with respect and appreciation, reveling in its documentary sense of detail.January 25, 2010
Casino is superbly acted and quite astonishingly obsessive about detail, money, and the mob's decline.May 16, 2008
Martin Scorsese's intimate epic about money, sex and brute force is a grandly conceived study of what happens to goodfellas from the mean streets when they outstrip their wildest dreams and achieve the pinnacle of wealth and power.
