To walk into Casino expecting another Goodfellas is perhaps unfair because while it is very much a Scorsese film about crime with many key Goodfellas alumni involved, both in front of and behind the camera, Casino is a considerably denser beast than the story of Henry Hill and his eventual ratting out of his friends to the Feds. A crime movie, directed by Martin Scorsese, co-written by Nicholas Pillegi and starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci that isn’t Goodfellas? Upon release in 1995, Casino was met with good reviews and a pretty decent box office run, but there was a feeling at the time that it wasn’t quite Goodfellas.
