Review of You Don't Know Jack (2010) by Sidney S — 17 Nov 2011
A truly compelling and powerful story. The story of Dr. Death, Jack Kevorkian. A doctor who assists you in suicides if you are in pain and willing to do so. Based on the true story of the doctor who rebelled against the laws of the country and eventually tried to disturb the established order.
Al Pacino gives a truly groundbreaking and riveting performance as Jack. No doubt Pacino's best performance since Scent of A Woman, he truly became the person of Jack Kevorkian for this film and got the mindset right.
Even his visual appearance in the film bears a striking resemblance to the real Jack. The story will keep you interested from the opening scene to the credits. When it comes to film's it may be HBO's finest hour.
Only shame is that it wasn't theatrically distributed, because I can guarantee that it would have won Mr. Pacino his second Oscar, however he did take home a Golden Globe and Emmy for this astonishing performance, no doubt the greatest actor of all time.
