Review of Casino (1995) by Petros T — 26 May 2011

The first eighty minutes are REALLY good. The plot is witty, the action is engaging and both De Niro and Pesci are great. But then... When the second part begins, you start feeling tired (actually, you're exhausted only by the thought that there are 90 minutes left).

Stone isn't acting but screaming (and getting on my nerves) while Scorsese resorts to sadistic and perverse violence as the plot turns into a big black hole.
