Review of Casino Jack

Casino Jack (2010)
6/10
Not a waste of time, based on true story but misses quite a bit

I liked the movie, but it was obvious that the movie was timed to come out to make the Republicans look bad. Too bad, if the movie showed the real facts, Kevin Spacey might have been nominated for a award or two. Sadly, the tale was extremely focused on making Republicans look bad, but should have made both parties look bad, and thereby lost focus.

Jon Levitt kills it, steals every scene he is in, and is just awesome. Good job.

Some of the other actors could have been exchanged for graduates from any film school and the newbies would have done better.

Overall, this film was much better then say the POS J. Edgar or Tin-Tin. If you are trapped on a plane say and this is on the free movie channel, catch it.

It was the story of Hurbis that Hollywood used to do well, but now that they HATE Republicans, they can't do at all anymore. Too bad.

Kevin Spacey, too bad. Like many of his recent movies, he gets lost in the poor storytelling. Hope Kevin got his jollies or made a lot of money on this movie.

Rate it: Not a waste of time.
