 | Martin Scorcese re-teams with Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci and screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi with this inside look at the Las Vegas Casino control. And after their success with GOODFELLAS, this was a promising offering. They succeed in many ways but the story, direction and characters seem more derivative than original.
DeNiro is small time street hood Ace Rothstein who makes big time as a Casino Manager. And like in GOODFELLAS, his doomed relationship with the trip hammer Joe Pesci exhibits what is too come and his paranoia takes over. Added into the mix is Ace's doomed relationship with an expensive call girl whose only interests in life are money, drugs and money. Here, Sharon Stone practically streetwalks away with the film. Her performance as Ginger is frightening.
The storyline is a bit ill conceived as the film has three narrators, making it difficult to know who the story is about. DeNiro's Rothstein and Pesci's Nicky Santoro split most of the film but at one point, a secondary character suddenly takes over narration. Scorcese uses his interesting camera work to relay the story with great success. But, the story never is as enrolling as GOODFELLAS and will always be an also ran because of that. The DVD comes with a nice widescreen transfer and unique soundtrack.
