Nope, I have no sympathy for this devil. I’m not even sure I want to be entertained by a depiction of him from one of our finest actors in a black comedy. Jesus: this looks like GoodFellas… but Henry Hill and the mafia could only dream of the kind of crimes Jack Abramoff committed. Abramoff, whose legal punishment was so short that he’ll actually be out of jail before this film gets released in a few weeks.
I really do not want to feel sorry for this slimeball. Kevin Spacey better play him without an ounce of pity. I’m so tired of guys like Abramoff giving honest criminals a bad name.
Casino Jack opens in the U.S. on December 17; no Canadian or U.K. release dates have been announced.
