Sam was the perfect guy to run the casino and he had me, his best friend, and Ginger, the woman he loved'. But if we go back, Nicky also expresses at the beginning: 'It was perfect. As Nicky himself puts it: 'The dollar⁚lways the dollar'. However, his best friend Nicky (Joe Pesci) is not fond of legitimacy and when he settles in Vegas to protect him, it's not long until he starts doing some business of his own. When Sam Rothstein (Robert De Niro) is put in charge of the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas, he sees it as the perfect chance to erase the obscure past we call carry with us. Closing in at three hours duration time, it takes its characters on a roller-coaster ride that not everyone might appreciate from the advantages of recurrent fortune to the regular Scorsese tragedy.That's cutting it short, because there's a lot in the middle, but without telling you 'what' exactly goes on in 'Casino', I'll tell you how you can approach it as a film.

It's a risky move, but then Marty has always been risky, and this movie may be the ultimate example to prove it. During its first forty minutes, Martin Scorsese's 'Casino' is pure narration, except for little spoken moments.
