Casino Jack

The second movie I’ve seen in two weeks that had Karl Rove as a character. Kevin Spacey is great in this, but it plays for laughs the world of lobbying and Jack Abramoff's financial influence of our government. Actually, it’s really maddening. Sure, I’ve got as much of a sense of humor as the next guy, but at a certain point you realize it’s REALLY fucked up what this guy was doing. One wonders HOW MANY of our government’s decisions are made this way. (All of them?) At least this guy got thrown in jail and did hard time (unlike Scooter Libby in Fair Game). Worth seeing for Spacey's edgy performance.
