Review of Casino Jack (2010) by Zebunker — 21 Dec 2015
20 minutes in I did not know what was going on. 30 minutes in I wondered what I was watching. Is this a dark comedy? Why is the sniper guy from Saving Private Ryan in this, and in a suit. Where's his rifle? 40 minutes in I stopped to make tacos. After the most amazing tacos I tried again. 10 minutes later I stopped. What am I watching? There is about an hour left of movie. I'm not going to watch it.
Dialog blows by so fast. It's full of words, it needs edited. It sounds like it's trying to be Catch Me If You Can meets Reservoir Dogs. It just does not work at all. It's too hard to follow what's going on, unless you are an expert in politics or followed this story and read every article about it. Understanding the plot of Mission Impossible is easier. Make tacos instead.
