For me, the film never reaches a level of greatness, but it is worth a look on DVD for those interested in the story. Casino Jack does drag at uneven points during the inflated 108-minute running time, but it is kept afloat by the strong cast and excellent leading work from Kevin Spacey. Norman Snider’s script is sharp and witty, allowing for some surprising dark humour in the most unlikely places.

Receiving money to persuade politicians to vote in favour of special interest groups, this is the same story told in the recent documentary, Casino Jack and the United States of Money. Directed by the late George Hickenlooper, Casino Jack tells the true story of high-powered lobbyist Jack Abramoff (Kevin Spacey) and his sleazy assistant, Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper).
