11/22/2023 0 Comments Casino 1995 movie letterboxdIt all ends brutally: in fact, it starts brutally as well, and “brutally” is its middle name, with bats, hammers and fountain pens meeting flesh. Based on a true story – the stuff happened, just not in the order given here – it’s a “Rise + Fall” tale, detailing De Niro’s handling of a Mob casino, his involvement with Stone (never a good idea hasn’t he seen Basic Instinct?) and friendship with psycho-dwarf Pesci. Admittedly (though no help to my posterior), Casino is justifiably long, covering a lot of turf, though sometimes it feels like a documentary on hotel management. I’m not sure my bum can take another three-hour plus movie at least they’re good value for money. Star: Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, James Woods
