Three stars that deserves five stars
The combination of Martin Scorcese and Robert De Niro is simply unbeatable. And if you top it up with Joe Pesci as the uncontrollable violent tug, Sharon Stone as the beautiful hustler, and James Woods as the sleazy pimp ex boyfriend, you’ve got yourself a piece of blu-ray movie history.
Casino is based on the true story of the rise and fall of the Las Vegas casino Tangier, which was funded by mobsters and run by gambling genius Frank Rosenthal (De Niro). Everyone in the cast is absolute stellar in ther performances, and the story makes the movie feel very epic. It’s quite a long movie, but because of the many different twists and turns of the movie it always keep you on your toes.
The Blu-ray transfer is great with very fine detail and rich colours. There’s minimal noise and the blu-ray gives a much more cinematic experience than previous DVD releases.
The soundtrack is in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and although mostly dialogue, it is very well mixed with powerful music at certain scenes.
Casino is a must-have Blu-ray as it’s a total cracking package.
