Full Plot Details

Documentary on the rise of Eliot Spitzer, first as Attorney General and then Governor of New York and his subsequent downfall due to a sex scandal. Spitzer had a hard driving, take no prisoners approach to prosecuting criminals. When he focused his efforts on Wall Street, he came up against some very powerful men. The chink in his armor was an escort whom he met regularly. When the fact that he spent time with a prostitute became public the knives came out so to speak, and Spitzer found himself isolated, resigning the Governorship. At one point, Spitzer recounts the story of a friend who gave him a t-shirt with 'Hubris is Terminal' printed on the front. A fitting epitaph somehow for his political career.

Movie Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaClient 9 speaks plenty of truth - about politics, power, human nature - even if you don't buy into the hit-job hypothesis.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Joe NeumaierGibney puts mystery back into a story we thought we knew.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Kirk HoneycuttIn retelling the still-astonishing story of the political career of Eliot Spitzer, a shooting star whose spectacular crash might forever obscure his accomplishments, Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney has all the ingredients for a potboiler: greed, corruption, sex, power, overweening ambition and jaw-dropping hubris.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 8/10 by David EdelsteinIt's probably easier for an ex-prosecutor known for macho threats to say he got caught screwing than for him to say he got screwed. But folks, he was reamed.
Variety - 8/10 by John AndersonFor all the information here, Gibney is unusual among investigative documentarians in that he never forgets he's making cinema.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 8/10 by Kate TaylorWhen Spitzer resigned, they broke out champagne on the stock exchange trading floor. Shame on them.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Amy BiancolliSpitzer was undone by his zipper, but as Client 9 makes clear, he was also undone by his refusal - or inability - to make nice with some of the state's most powerful characters.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliAt times Client 9 feels frustratingly incomplete. Gibney hints at a conspiracy among Spitzer's enemies but is unable to fully substantiate this thesis.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Ann HornadayClient 9 doesn't make any excuses for Spitzer, who is interviewed extensively in the film and who wisely insists that he alone is responsible for his fate.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Scott TobiasThe film rescues the story from tabloid hell, and asks for a saner assessment of a deeply flawed man.
