-Robert

-Sharon
Stone
Martin
Scorsese,
one
of
America's
most
influential
filmmakers,
returns
to
the
world
of
mobsters,
greed,
and
excess
that
he
explored
so
compellingly
in
1990’s
GOODFELLAS.
Set
in
the
1970s
and
reveling
in
the
minute
details
of
how
Las
Vegas
casinos
operate,
the
film
chronicles
the
rise
and
fall
of
casino
manager
Ace
Rothstein
(Robert
De
Niro).
As
the
king
of
his
domain,
Ace
efficiently
runs
the
business
and
regularly
sends
lots
of
cold
cash
to
his
bosses.
Helping
him
keep
the
casino's
employees
and
customers
honest
is
his
best
friend,
Nicky
(Joe
Pesci),
a
violent
sociopath.
Although
Ace
aims
to
run
a
relatively
respectable
casino,
the
volatile
Nicky
wants
to
take
over
the
entire
gambling
mecca,
and
when
Ginger
McKenna
(Sharon
Stone),
a
seasoned
Vegas
hustler,
enters
the
picture,
Ace
and
Nicky's
friendship
is
complicated
even
further.
As
drugs
and
alcohol
become
a
bigger
part
of
Ginger's
life,
all
three
are
eventually
brought
down
by
their
own
greed
and
blind
ambition.
CASINO
shares
many
similarities
with
GOODFELLAS,
beginning
with
a
script
that
was
cowritten
by
Scorsese
and
Nicholas
Pileggi.
Regulars
De
Niro
and
Pesci
are
first
rate
once
again
as
the
dissimilar
companions,
but
it
is
Stone
who
steals
the
show
with
her
grueling,
intense
performance.
