Casino Jack: Directed by George Hickenlooper. With Kevin Spacey, Ruth Marshall, Graham Greene, Hannah Endicott-Douglas. A hot shot Washington DC lobbyist and his protégé go down hard as their schemes to peddle influence lead to corruption and murder.

“Both gobsmakingingly awesome in its (true) take on Washington and just way OTT look at the Beltway, CJ is just so good. Honestly, if this had been made as fiction youu0026#39;d shoot it down as implausible – the stink goes how high? – but here we see lobbyist and senators in cahoots to get the dollar in their pocket at the expense of just about every body else.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSpacey is in fine form, with a sterling support cast, and the film is best viewed as a buckle up and grin fair ride to the underbelly of politics – it really is so way beyond your standard black comedy or satire that itu0026#39;s just jaw dropping.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe enjoyed CJ – it doesnu0026#39;t aim to be a political thriller or have any great message but it is a lot of black comedy and seriously messed-up situations from beginning to end…..u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHave fun now…..”
