Review of Casino Jack (2010) by Michael M — 26 Aug 2013

I would say Casino Jack is more fun to watch then the rating for the movie, mine included, make it seem. The acting is spot on, especially from Kevin Spacey. But is that really a surprise? Personally I just expect epic acting from a movie when ever I here the name Kevin Spacey.

Maybe it is not epic here, but there is certainly nothing wrong with the acting in Casino Jack. The problem I see is with the story,, it is too broad in my opinion. And because the movie is trying to cover too much, it just comes off as a scatterbrained mess.

But I enjoy watching the movie, and I think anyone will that likes movie based on true stories or movies about politics. It is really kind of sad because Spacey pulled off a great Jack Abramoff, and it is a shame that the script was not better.
