Preview: Casino Jack and the United States of Money (2010)

Synopsis:

A documentary about lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his web of corruption.

• Poster: B

Review:

Not sure where this idea came from. It's cute and amusing, which could draw in an audience, but it's quite a bit misleading considering the gravity of the subject.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

You can't help but be morbidly curious about such a polarizing figure as Jack Abramoff and this documentary seems to go right for the jugular of the matter.

Oscar Prospects:

When you're directed by Oscar winner Alex Gibney who did Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and Taxi to the Darkside, you might as well pencil him in.

Release Date:

• May 7, 2010
