Casino Jack is inspired by the true story of lobbyist and convicted criminal Jack Abramoff, and his ring of corrupt officials which involved several United States Congressmen. Casino Jack portrays Abramoff and Michael Scanlon's attempts to illegally influence Congress on behalf of special interest groups. The film follows Abramoff’s influential rise in the political arena, and his subsequent criminal charges of fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy to bribe public officials.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1igM1mfzPIhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/06/22/LI2005062200936.html

• "Mr. Abramoff’s crooked tentacles extended in so many directions that you get lost in the film’s sprawling maze of corruption as it jumps from one scandal to another, without differentiating their relative importance."—Stephen Holden of The New York Timeshttp://movies.nytimes.com/2010/05/07/movies/07casino.html

• "'Casino Jack and the United States of Money' is a film that's always on the move, a smart, lively, thoroughly involving doc about a complex, critical subject."—Kenneth Turan of The Los Angeles Timeshttp://articles.latimes.com/2010/may/07/entertainment/la-et-casinojack-20100507

• "I can’t begin to tell you the complexities of the Jack Abramoff story — simply because I am neither educated enough nor American enough (not at all actually) to quite understand. But what I did understand made for a rather entertaining movie."—Liam of Empire Movieshttp://www.empiremovies.com/2010/09/17/casino-jack-review-toronto-international-film-festival/

• "Casino Jack's politics-heavy modus operandi eventually does become something of an obstacle to one's enjoyment, and there's little doubt that the film will hold more appeal for those viewers with an inherent interest in the subject matter."—David Nusair of Reel Film Reviewshttp://reelfilm.com/tiff1001.htm#casino
