Casino
Martin Scorsese’s glittering, violent autopsy of 1970s Las Vegas operates on pure kinetic energy. Robert De Niro plays Sam 'Ace' Rothstein, a brilliant handicapper handed the keys to the Tangiers Casino, while Sharon Stone turns in a blistering performance as ginger-haired hustler Ginger McKenna. Scorsese shoots the desert playground with frantic tracking shots, razor-sharp voiceovers, and a neon glow that barely conceals brutal mob executions. The second half tracks an extravagant marriage torn apart by cocaine paranoia, jewel theft, and escalating resentment. It matches the operatic, high-rolling domestic sabotage seen in House of Gucci, tracking how untamed greed dismantles a multimillion-dollar empire from the bedroom outward.
