Casino

Martin Scorsese’s film portrays Las Vegas as Janus. It has both a glamorous, glittering face and a cruel, brutal one. Ace Rothstein, and Nicky Santoro are mobsters that move to Las Vegas in order to succeed. They live and work together in this strange world. The details of mob involvement at the casino of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s can be seen through the eyes of each of them, as they are viewed in a different light. Ace, the casino’s smooth operator, is Nicky, his friend from childhood and tough, rugged strongman who robs and shakes down the locals. They each share a tragedy: Ace falls for Ginger, a hustler and Nicky is thrown into a spiral of violence and drugs. –Tad Dibbern
