Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in director Martin Scorsese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-karat greed toppled an empire. Las Vegas, 1973, is the setting for this fact-based story about the Mob's multimillion-dollar casino operation, where fortunes and lives were made and lost with a roll of the dice.

Scorsese is a great storyteller who can easily hold the viewer's attention for a full three hours. The film stands on an interesting, novel plot and the actors. While De Niro is typically good, Joe Pesci is phenomenal, his character is the embodiment of evil; although small in stature, he exudes imperiousness, bluntness, cruelty, and inspires respect. But who really shines is Sharon Stone, she deserved an Oscar for her challenging role (the academics were asleep again). She is the main star of the film.

The best Scorsese. An orgy for cinephiles, a film without a single stumble or redundant detail. An engrossing introduction, a brilliant soundtrack, smooth transitions between the titular story and secondary events through the narrator, the beautiful bitch Stone, the charismatic De Niro and a devilish Joe Pesci. I can easily imagine that this is how things work in Vegas, I believed every punch and dialogue; I enjoyed myself a lot. 95%

Martin Scorsese once again shows how much he loves voiceovers. This time we don't have just one narrator like in "Goodfellas," but several narrators. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci lead the way. Scorsese once again excels at portraying the characters, but the audience occasionally feels that something is missing. Yes, it's excellent, but "Goodfellas" was already there, and Scorsese seems to be borrowing from himself a bit. Joe Pesci, however, once again proves how great he is. Unfortunately, his role is quite similar to the one in "Goodfellas." Sharon Stone confirms that she is a great actress. Robert De Niro... Well, he is simply unique. He is perfect in the role of the mobster. Yes, this should be called a Hollywood happy ending.

I really enjoyed this movie: its narrative style, interesting personalities, and story. Even though it's so long, I never once felt bored. And right from the beginning I was rooting for De Niro and no one else; I wasn't indifferent to his fate... I went through it with him as if with a friend :-)

Usually there’s just one narrator to take us through a story, he’s our bell hop, maid and waiter and we like him and root for him. But what if there are two narrators, interrupting each other? Other precise crime movie from Marty that surprises us where we thought that was impossible. Bobby De Niro is perfect as always, Joe Pesci is a runt who I would be scared to look sideways at and Sharon Stone does credit to her name (she’s wasted for most of the movie).
