Casino Jack and the United States of Money is a 2010 documentary film directed by Alex Gibney. | Gezien op I.Sat, première in de bioscoop in 2010. A hot shot Washington DC lobbyist and his protégé go down hard as their schemes to peddle influence lead to corruption and murder. Its not a terribly surprising film, but still infuriating.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney once again wields the tools of his trade with the skill of a master. Even with Abramoff going to jail in the end, I do not have a lot of optimism for the system, no matter who is in charge. | Rating: A A probing investigation into the lies, greed and corruption surrounding D.C. super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his cronies.

De DVD en Blu-Ray editie van full film werd verkocht enige tijd na de officiële release in Nederlandse bioscopen. The part of the story about a sweatshop in Saipan will make anyone, regardless or their poltical affiliations, absolutely furious. We won’t be able to verify your ticket today, but it’s great to know for the future.Theater box office or somewhere else
Although Kevin Spacey did a bang up job as the fictional Casino Jack, the documentary on Abramoff is more of an achievement.
| Those players have one mission: to protect the star players at any price.
Everything We Know About A cold, cynical documentary... [Full review in Spanish] Alex Gibney knows how to make a documentary.
Actually, his crimes really are not that interesting, compared to the ripple effects as the documentary makes an intelligent case for regulation(I think I have read about the labor situation in the Northern Mariana Islands elsewhere...), public funding of elections and continued existence of newspapers as the Washington Post again follows the money.
