Parent reviews for Casino

Very good movie that sucks you in for 3 hours but it gets very violent(ie a man has his head squished in a vice in an interrogation and some men are beat w/ baseball bats and buried alive). Also, when this released in 1995 it broke the record for the most uses of f**k(422 apparently), and it gets ridiculous. Good movie, just the excessive language is uncalled for. I saw it when I was 16 and recommend it for that age.

Casino is an amazing epic mobster film directed by the one and only Martin Scorsese. Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci pull off outstanding performances. While this is a great, entertaining and truly thrilling film, it is 100% not for kids. This film contains many prolonged brutal scenes of torture, lots of drug use, and LOTS of foul language. In fact, this film at one time broke a world record for most uses of the F-word in a movie. Also, violence in movies usually doesn't freak me out, however the violence in this film is extremely realistic, there is one scene towards the end that had me partially covering my eyes while watching. In my opinion, this film should have gotten an NC-17 rating. However, if you are 18 or older I highly recommend Casino, it's an excellent film and and a great way to spend three hours.

Top 10 Most Profane Movies. EXTREMELY CRUDE

I'm a huge fan of Martin Scorsese and I've already seen many of his violent, profanity riddled movies, so the content in this movie didn't really come off as any surprise. I will say that although the language was incredibly pervasive, it was also realistic considering the main characters, the setting, and the tone of the movie. Gangsters spouting f-words come off as more realistic and less offensive than kids and teens saying them in most of today's raunchy teen comedies. This remains one of the best gangster films ever made, bolstering powerful performances from Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone. It's a sad movie about sad people. Gangsters might be some of the richest people in business, but they are also some of the most dysfunctional, and Scorses asks of us, is it all worth it? Most of us would say not. Gangsters will keep making money, but you can't buy happiness with all the money in the world. Scorsese knows that, and that's what he portrays brilliantly in his gangster films.

Well first off, a factual error on the part of CSM, they claim that Pulp Fiction has the highest number of "F-Bombs" in a movie, when in fact, "Casino" holds a Guiness World Record for the most swearing in a film ever! The word "F*ck" is said 422 times, which averages to about 2.4 times per minute (IMDB). Btw, the "F" word is said 422 times, not counting, "Sh*t, C**t, Ass**le, Jerk***, n****r, co**su*ker," you get the idea... Aside from that, I love this movie. I suppose it doesn't offer much as far as lessons go, other than it is an excellent story about what Las Vegas used to be, and the lifestyles the big shots could afford. You as the parent are the ultimate judge of what you deem appropriate and inappropriate. This movie is not senseless at all, it has a wonderful story and a Scorsese masterpiece.
