Leave your thoughts about Casino Jack and the United States of Money.
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanProlific documentarian Alex Gibney takes a labyrinthine, detail-laden story and crafts an attention-holding film, polemical without ranting. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanCasino Jack is really a look at how the culture of Washington was rebuilt to sell itself to the highest bidder. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoAs one interviewee opines: "It's all about the money." |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrAbramoff may be in prison but the mindset that produced him -- and the pay-to-play government it needs to survive -- is triumphant. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzWhat's breathtaking here is the scope of greed, corruption, arrogance and above all cynicism on display, not just regarding the system of government but the people it ostensibly serves. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA film that's always on the move, a smart, lively, thoroughly involving doc about a complex, critical subject. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerUltimately, the blight is so overwhelming that the film collapses from corruption overload. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasGibney has enough material for a dozen movies here, but his attempt at an overview, however unwieldy, paints one hell of a nauseating picture. |
| Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesTonally, it all makes sense, but there’s such a thing as overmuchness. Gibney laudably launches a withering attack here on the pay-to-play relationship between lobbyists and lawmakers. But this viewer felt withered, too, by the end of his battering ram of a movie. |
| Boxoffice MagazinePete HammondA fascinating, strangely funny and remarkable film about events so incredible you'll likely have a hard time believing what you see onscreen. |
