Robert Richardson's cinematography is amazing. And much in the same manner, there is some playful rock'n'roll music playing in the background during any violent scene of crime! The soundtrack is very much like that in GoodFellas. Special mention here, of Pasquale Cajano, who is superb as the mob boss, Remo Gaggi.

Then there are some wonderful, but small supporting performances by James Woods as Lester Diamond, Frank Vincent as Frank Marino, Alan King as Andy Stone and Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects) as Phillip Green. Sharon Stone: Superb!! I never thought I would feel that about her performance, but indeed, she gets a hell of a chance to act here.and she does it exceedingly well! The drunk hustler who cannot find happiness is played to perfection by Sharon.I guess it is also kudos to the director for bringing out the actor in her. Another brilliant performance after GoodFellas, he is the finest choice for his role. Joe Pesci.what can one say about this guy! Delivering sharp dialogs and firing those F-words with a one-of-a-kind punch is something only he can do! He plays a wicked, wicked character who also cares for his boy-hood friend, Sam. Trust him to play an all-in-one character: a mob-connected Casino guy, a friend and a loving father all at the same time! His powerful performance in this movie has to be seen to be believed. He appears super-cool as the Casino operator and you cannot help but sympathize with him in some later parts of the movie when he is having a bad time because of various reasons. The performances: Robert De Niro is one of the finest actors to come out of Hollywood and that's a universal fact! In this movie, he delivers a performance that qualifies as one his best after 'Raging Bull'. The film runs for almost three hours and events take their time to unravel, and rightly so. 'Casino' is, without doubt one of the best films by Scorsese.
