The rise and fall of Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff – the man who had Congress, lost it, and took Washington down with him.
Recognition
Jack Abramoff was, for a time, the most powerful lobbyist in Washington. Brilliant, flamboyant, and utterly certain of his own genius, he built a network of influence that reached into the White House, the Capitol, and the bank accounts of Native American tribes across the country.
Casino Jack dramatises the scandal that brought him down – a story of corruption, ego, and the machinery of political access, filtered through one man's refusal to believe the rules applied to him.
Directed by George Hickenlooper and starring Kevin Spacey in the lead role – a performance that earned a Golden Globe nomination – the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2010 and was distributed by ATO Pictures.
"Spacey's splendid in this brisk and engaging portrait of the disgraced Washington lobbyist"
