Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-karat greed toppled an empire. Las Vegas 1973 is the setting for this fact-based story about the Mob's multi-million dollar casino operation where fortunes and lives were made and lost with a roll of the dice.

Another DeNiro and Pecsi film, if anything, they were trying to capitalize on the success of Goodfellas and basically tried to add a stronger female lead. While this film is good in regards to story telling, I can't separate how it seems like they are trying too hard to make a decent film. They are successful, but at the end, I don't care about any of the characters. It left me feeling as though I watched a good story, but did not have any lasting impact. It's good for a rainy day film, but nothing more.

Better than godfather and good fellas. Three hrs and not boring. Deniro and Pesci at their best together. Best performance by stone also even though I'm no fan of hers.

Joe Pesci does not intimidate me at all and the violence involving Pesci was unintentionally hilarious. The opening sequence reminded me of the opening sequence from Spy Hard. Also not a fan of the constant narration.
