Review of You Don't Know Jack (2010) by Jayakrishnan R — 23 Nov 2015
Pacino is hitting a new stride lately, and far from phoning in performances which rely only on his "isms" and presence (see: Robert de Niro), he is truly discovering new places to go. His performance as Jack Kevorkian is compellingly multidimensional, transcending his "Pacino-ness" effortlessly.
This is also diector Barry Levinson's best work since "Good Morning, Vietnam". I am not kidding. This is a masterfully directed film (it's a HBO production, so it counts) and absolutely wonderfully shot by cinematographer Eigil Bryld (he also shot the brilliant "In Bruges").
