Review of Casino Jack (2010) by Joe Y — 30 Nov 2016

A decent expose on the world of lobbying with some interesting characters, but ultimately forgettable.

Kevin Spacey as Jack Abramhoff and Jon Lovitz as Adam Kidan gave wonderful performances. Their scenes really added to the film. However, as a whole the movie never lets us care about the characters. Instead they seem or like caricatures than real people. In fact, many of the people remind me of NPCs from video games. If you want to see Spacey in a political project, I'd recommend "House of Cards" instead.
