Reviews for Casino
The result? Plot plethora.

Casino reminds you in too many ways of the brilliance of GoodFellas, and in a way that dooms Casino to remain in its shadow.
06/24/06
In every way -- from the fantastic sets, rich dialogue, and unapologetic violence to the well-portrayed characters and themes of loyalty and betrayal -- Casino is pure Scorsese.

Top CriticScorsese and co. will never make a bad film, only another one.
01/01/00
Fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the mob's control of LasVegas in the 1970s.
08/29/02
Scorsese leaves his indelible signature on every frame.
08/07/04
Martin Scorsese's fascinating new film Casino knows a lot about the Mafia's relationship with Las Vegas.
01/01/00
Top CriticScorsese and company do what they do very well -- they've got it down. It's a system unto itself.
01/01/00
People talk and talk about how Vegas works, and Scorsese's camera sprints to keep up. He's like an energetic tour guide making sure we understand everything.
08/13/07
This bloated three-hour misfire this is a major fumble.
01/01/00
Scorsese may be flailing here, but Scorsese flailing is more formidable than most directors at the top of their form.
08/09/06
Top CriticMartin Scorsese is the most enthralling, intense and dedicated director working in film today. His thorough control of the filmmaking art is apparent on every level.
02/27/01
Not as flawless as Goodfellas, but still great.
09/10/02
It's an ambitious film, but also a scattered, unfocused one.
06/18/02
Top CriticThe whole package is a riveting account and a well-told story.
01/01/00
Production values are brilliant, and as the drug-addict-hooker Sharon Stone gives her best performance, but thematically, Scorsese rehashes grounds that he had explored deeper in previous films (GoodFellas) and his approach here is too cold and remote.
01/26/07
...minor Scorsese ... but in every other sense it is a major film.
12/16/02
Of all the bravura visual effects in Martin Scorsese's dazzlingly stylish Casino, it's a glimpse of ordinary people that delivers the greatest jolt.
