Review of You Don't Know Jack (2010) by Yvan C — 18 Jul 2010
You Don't Know Jack is One of the best TV movies ever made. Al Pacino is just so dynamic as famed Dr. Death, Jack Kevorkian. The film shows Kevorkian's struggle for his right-to-die campaign, and how he assisted in the suicide of over 100 patients.
Brenda Vaccaro is just so brilliant as Jack's supportive sister Margot. Susan Sarandon is as good as she always is as Jacks friend Janet who helps Jack. John Goodman gives One of the best performances of his Career as Neal Nicol, Jack's Best Friend who helps Jack get all of the supplies he needs to "assist" his patients.
Danny Huston plays the role of famed Attorney Jeffrey Fieger who risks life and limb to make sure that Jack's civil rights aren't violated. The films shows all of the politics of how the government tries to put an end to Jack.
This film is Barry Levinson's best film since Rain Man, and I personally hope it wins ever major Emmy it's nominated for.
