Casino Jack and the United States of Money is the only film I walked out on at Sundance (so far.) So this’ll be a briefer bit than the others, but I’ll explain why I left the press screening for it.
Thematically, there’s nothing from with Alex Gibney’s Casino Jack. It starts out with an email from Jack Abramoff claiming no one watches documentaries and he should do an action film instead. This comes back in hilarious fashion to Abramoff’s own producer days with Red Scorpion, an 80s’ Dolph Lundgren action film that has a much more frightening basis in reality.
