Plot
Ace Rothstein (De Niro) and Nicky Santoro (Pesci) are two mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their fortunes. But they come into conflict with Ace falls for a pushy showgirl, Ginger (Sharon Stone) and Nicky falls into a cycle of drugs and violence.

Verdict
It may not be Scorsese's greatest work, but this guy feeling a little off-colour is still far, far better than most people on fighting-fit form. It only gets more impressive as times goes on.
