The characters also are deliberately less endearing than are seen with Goodfellas, making it perhaps a more even portrayal of unorganised crime, but the decision to do that paid off.

The story for me has seldom a dull moment, not with the subplots as intriguing as they are, how well made it is, how good the characters and acting are.

The realism the film has is always absorbing, the subplots that form the story are intriguing and the characters are adeptly drawn. I loved the setting, the cinematography and editing are outstanding and never take away from the atmosphere, and Martin Scorsese's direction is superb. It is shocking, disturbing and unflinching in places, particularly the part where a head gets squeezed in a vice, but that added to the atmosphere rather than distracted from it.Ĭasino is brilliantly made too. And then some are just straight up jerks! All in all, a great film to watch with friends.I don't consider Casino Scorsese's very best film(Goodfellas is my personal favourite), but it is a fantastic film and definitely one to see. I think Billy and men like Billy (was), ARE fearful of growing old. A new business venture, going back to study, travelling, you name it! But there is something very endearing about couples who choose to grow old together or with someone of their own generation. You will find there are some great one liners in this film. one for each of them! I loved Morgan in this film also. There should have been at least 2 older ladies in the film. I hate how Paddy didn't get the girl and was even told that his wife only stuck with him because his first choice said no. I love when movies show and even promote realistic relationships. I am not in the age bracket of the actors, but could compare my own friendships with theirs. I wish there were more scenes of the characters as children.
