Love Gone WrongĪs soon as Ace falls in love with Ginger, he lets his job at the casino grind to a halt. The story is based on the life of Frank Rosenthal, who ran several casinos in the service of the mafia in the 1970s and 1980s.

The film is not so much a mafia film, but it is a perfect representation of Las Vegas. This gets Ace Rothstein even further into trouble. Then his former, murderous buddy (played by Joe Pesci) comes into the picture again. He falls in love with a call girl (Sharon Stone), which is the beginning of his downfall. Unfortunately, Rothstein is a bit too charismatic. He works for the mafia and controls a few casinos in Las Vegas. Robert De Niro plays Ace Rothstein, a charismatic mobster. Like ‘ Goodfellas‘, ‘Casino’ is a movie adaptation of a book by Nicholas Pileggi. At The Casino With Robert De NiroĬasino is a movie by Martin Scorsese, who you probably know from ‘Goodfellas’. It is a real crime film, with all the ingredients that a crime film should have: flashy editing, an energetic rhythm, excellent decoration and well-known actors. Yet we keep talking about it as it is still popular in many countries around the world, such as Kuwait and the whole Middle East. The film was already released in 1995, so it is now almost 30 years old. ‘Casino’ is perhaps the best casino movie of all time.
