Casino (1995): Greed, deception, money, power, and murder occur between two mobster best friends and a trophy wife over a gambling empire. (8.2)
Director: Martin Scorsese
Writers: Nicholas Pileggi (book/screenplay), Martin Scorsese
Stars: Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci
In a way, this sets the bar for what each of the characters is supposed to look/act like, but looking at it another way, it is quite stereotypical. However, the acting, the direction, the storyline, etc are superb. This is an extension and an evolution of the other mobster movies. Defining work, not only by the director and the writers, but also by the actors as well. One of those "you gotta see this to set your baseline" kind of a movie. My Rating: 8.0
