Review of Casino Jack (2010) by Kireau K — 03 May 2011

"Casino Jack" can proudly take its place alongside other classic political dramas -- albeit with a lot more foul language and a touch of nudity. Kevin Spacey does his share of carrying the film while chewing on the scenery.

His portrayal of the complex, despicable lobbyist Jack Abramoff gives breath to the accounts reported thoroughly in the media. The supporting cast is capable, but this is Spacey's film and it is well worth seeing to better understand how deep the corruption in Washington goes.

When seen alongside "Inside Job," it makes a knot form in the pit of your stomach. Well worth seeing.
