Review of Casino Jack (2010) by Garytt P — 27 Dec 2010

Kevin Spacey is great to watch in this biopic caper about a corrupt lobbyist in Washington D.C. This film is not great. It might not even be good. However, it gets the third star due to Spacey's performance.

This is a film that would have benefited from a better script. It has a Catch Me If You Can meets The Social Network feel, but the script never comes close to either one of those films. Ultimately, Spacey takes the material and takes it to the next level with his performance.
