Self-professed "super-lobbyist" and double-dealing high roller Jack Abramoff (Academy Award-winner Kevin Spacey) watches in vain as his highly lucrative empire starts to crumble thanks to one fateful mistake in this high-energy comedy inspired by real events from director George Hickenlooper (The Man from Elysian Fields, Factory Girl). When Jack and resourceful businessman Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper) team up to exert their influence over some the biggest players in Washington, D.C., their bid to strike it rich pays off, big time. But somewhere between the high-profile deals, high-roller hotel suites, and million-dollar yachts, the profit-loving pair makes the mistake of recruiting a motor-mouthed mob flunky (Jon Lovitz) to earn some extra income under the table. At first the cash is rolling in, but when word gets out that Jack and Michael have ties to the Mob, the resulting scandal turns their life of luxury into a living hell. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This movie was funny and timely, still. I can see Republicans hating it since it paints them at times in an unflattering light and most likely accounts for some of the negative reviews. It is not Oscar material but it was entertaining. I suggest viewing the trailer and decide for yourself

    Somewhat humorous true story about greed, the "system" and political coruption. Spacey did a great job. Even unknown Barry Pepper finally found a role he is good at being a Sleezeball. He was barely so so in the Dale E. movie.

    Yes   |   No

    I like Kevin Spacey but this movie SUCKED! Casino Jack and the United States of Money was a real interesting documentary but Casino Jack was a boring waste of time.

    Yes   |   No
