Casino Jack (2010)
Based on a real life scandal this film stars Kevin Spacey and is directed by George Hickenlooper. The ego and greed of a lobbyist get the better of him and he ends up involved in various scams and crimes.
I suspect this film does not necessarily stick amazingly close to the facts as it runs under the “inspired by real events” tag but it seems that the more unbelievable elements of the story are the ones with the basis in real events. Given the serious nature of the content it is a bit of a shame that the film is more satirical than a serious look at corruption in politics but the film is still very watchable.
3/5
