Reviews: Warning: Spoilers "You'll enjoy this modern day version of 'floating' casinos, mixed with Indian casinos and politics'! Gives you an idea of how lobbyist work and manipulate the system. Can't wait for 'Atlas Shrugged' to come out. Greed and corruption that takes place behind the scenes has, and will always be present. America needs a better 'checks and balance' system to hold these Movers and Shakers accountable. How is it possible that Jack received such a light sentence for his actions? Becomes fully understandable when one observes the Senate Panel questioning him, and realizes they were thankful he 'pled the 5th' and kept his mouth shut! Love the way Jack adds movie quotes into his everyday dealings with people." Written by jfaliszek on IMDb.com Warning: Spoilers "One of the best movies i have seen this year. Thoroughly enjoy films inspired by true events. Believe the plot is not new but the pace and Kevin Spacey fine acting brought out elements that drive the movie forward. Got me thinking after, what greed can do to you. Imagine living in excess and never being contented. A must see with its portrayal of the sleazy world of politics and fund-raising. The other aspects of Indian gaming and mob gambling brings forth interesting twists. Torn between being magnanimous and greed, self justification of personal goals, its not what you think its right, its also perception. Self before others?" Written by ngjosephkl on IMDb.com "George Hickenlooper (director) and Kevin Spacey (Jack Abramoff – Casino Jack) have made a winner. Based on the true story of a Washington lobbyist who created the biggest scandal in the Capital since Watergate, the film is ingenious and funny, replete with first-rate performances. Casino Jack will be a box office success when it hits theatres. The Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff knows no limits to his hubris. Spacey's portrayal of the arrogant, manipulative, dynasty building political criminal is pitch perfect. Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper) is the sidekick/accomplice..."
