If you read in most of my comments, you can tell I'm a fan. No words can describe how wonderful of an actor he is. But back onto the movie, it does have gangsta's in it, and with that comes some pretty gruesome violence. Everything is more corporate greed now-a-days. Everyone was more close and wanted to know who you were and how everything was going.
I'm only 20, but my mom and dad told me how different the times were in the 60's and 70's. Actually that's true, it's not like it used to be. When Robert DeNiro's character says 'It's more like Disney Land now'. 'Casino' is mainly about the rise and fall of Las Vegas.
Yes, it's very similar situations, but it's not the same plot. Is it 'Goodfellas Part 2', in my opinion, no. I've read a lot of comments on IMDb, and more than 50% of the comments are calling this 'Goodfells Part 2'. When they work together, they create masterpieces. I guess also because I'm a huge fan of Martin, Robert, and Joe's. That was always pretty cool to me, since my town really didn't have much excitement.
No names, and my old boss who runs our town grocery store actually knew 'Ace'. I think because I read the book and a lot of what happened in real life happened in my little town in Chicago. Without a doubt this has become one of my favorite movies. This is one of the best films of the 90's hands down.
