Dr. Jack Kevorkian (1928 - 2011 ) in the 1990s, when he defies Michigan law assisting the suicide of terminally-ill persons. Support comes from his sister, a lab tech, the Hemlock Society president, and a lawyer. The child of survivors of the Armenian genocide interviews applicants: his sister video tapes them. He assembles a device allowing a person to initiate a three-chemical intravenous drip. The local D.A., the governor, and the Legislature respond. In court scenes, Kevorkian is sometimes antic. He's single-minded about giving dying individuals the right to determine how their lives will end. He wants the Supreme Court to rule. He picks a fight he can't win: is it hubris or heroism?

| RogerEbert.comRoger EbertPacino and Levinson seem to have made a deliberate decision to keep Jack's rough edges. There is no attempt to make him heroic; we have to come to any such decision on our own. |
| TIME MagazineJames PoniewozikYou Don't Know Jack may be a film about the case for making dying patients comfortable. But admirably, it recognizes that thinking about this, or watching, should be discomfiting. |
| User ReviewCarolyn GAl Pacino was great in this movie, everyone should see this :) |
| User ReviewRichard TAl Pacino proves yet again why he's considered one of the greatest actors of all time in one of the best made-for-TV movies I've ever seen. Highly recommended! |
| User ReviewJack KThe movie is uncompromising in the same way that Jack Kevorkian is - and Barry Levinson's matter-of-fact approach to the material is powerful. As for Pacino's performance, it's another one for the ages. If You Don't Know Jack had been released theatrically, Pacino would be winning an Academy Award for his work here. Even if you ultimately disagree with Kevorkian's methods, you can't help but admire his determination, extraordinary intellect and unwillingness to compromise. |
| User ReviewAbbey DAMAZING performance by Al Pacino. 'You Don't Know Jack' is about one of our time's most controversial physicians & his battle with the government over the end of life rights of patients at end-stages of terminal illness or who have no quality of life. |
| User ReviewJon WThis is an amazing story, told with humor, love, intelligence, and wit. Al Pacino does his best acting since "Scent of a Woman," showing Kevorkian as a man who simply sees a problem and offers a solution. Director Barry Levinson ("Wag the Dog") tells the story without judgement or prejudice. This is something that tends to fly in under the radar but should be viewed more than intelligence-destroying films about pointy aliens ("Battle: LA") or ear-piercing metal scraping ("Transformers"). Rent or buy this immediately. |
| User ReviewJonny BPacino's best acting in decades, no screaming and burning up the scenery thank goodness. The script is sharp, the story fascinating, maddening (being anti-euthenasia is so barbaric and immoral it sickens me), always captivating and the performances are unforgettable. HBO strikes gold again. |
| User ReviewCavan MThis is a great movie. Beautifully acted by all. Pacino is stark and obtuse as Dr. K. Sarandon is affected but real. The light is john goodman, whose on screen personality is an amusing ray of sunshine and reality in an otherwise dreary and dark topic. Danny huston is wonderful as the lawyer,fighting for the truth. The script is honest and true, Brutal and uncomfortable at times. Definitely not for everyone. But wonderful if your mind is open to new ideas.. Even though the story is twenty years old and as old as time itself. |
| User ReviewJennifer AThe name is very intuitive, you really don't know Jack, the world is ignorant. Al Pacino is playing a very peculiar doctor that helps people in a polemic way. Five stars. |
