Casino Jack
★★★
Creator: George Hickenlooper
Year: 2010
The best part of this film is that Jack Abramoff comes across as a likable guy. Someone you can go hang and have a drink with. I supposed that’s the same mentality of George W. Bush. He’s a beer guy and the Republican Abramoff comes across that way too. Kevin Spacey is great in almost any role and he’s very entertaining here as well.
Not sure how accurate the film is, but I didn’t know much about the story and what really got Abramoff into trouble. So just for that, it’s worth checking out.
The Jon Lubitz character and performance are great too.
I guess he was true to himself because I actually got annoyed by him. And loved what happened to his character.
