The head vice scene and the metal bat scene with Joe is two of the most disturbing scenes in cinematic history. But you get past the vulgar language and just enjoy what Joe says and does. 'You want me to get out of my own town?! Don't *bleep* with me, Ace!' Does he swear in this movie? Oh, yeah. His speech in the desert with Ace and the big confrontation. He's only 5' 6'', but he is so intimidating. Joe does it again being the A$$hole who thinks with his gun and not with his head. What a performance, it deserved more praise. A lot of people I talked too: the guys wanted to be him and the girls wanted to be with him. You want to love him, even though technically he's a bad guy too, you still think he is so cool. He's dialog and image is very powerful and you understand his position. This movie is actually what made me into a huge fan of his. If you read in most of my comments, you can tell I'm a fan. No words can describe how wonderful of an actor he is.

But back onto the movie, it does have gangsta's in it, and with that comes some pretty gruesome violence. Everything is more corporate greed now-a-days. Everyone was more close and wanted to know who you were and how everything was going. I'm only 20, but my mom and dad told me how different the times were in the 60's and 70's. Actually that's true, it's not like it used to be. When Robert DeNiro's character says 'It's more like Disney Land now'. 'Casino' is mainly about the rise and fall of Las Vegas. Yes, it's very similar situations, but it's not the same plot. Is it 'Goodfellas Part 2', in my opinion, no. I've read a lot of comments on IMDb, and more than 50% of the comments are calling this 'Goodfells Part 2'. When they work together, they create masterpieces. I guess also because I'm a huge fan of Martin, Robert, and Joe's. That was always pretty cool to me, since my town really didn't have much excitement. No names, and my old boss who runs our town grocery store actually knew 'Ace'.

I think because I read the book and a lot of what happened in real life happened in my little town in Chicago. Without a doubt this has become one of my favorite movies.

This is one of the best films of the 90's hands down.
