He is admired by the president and is in high demand in his field. Jack Abramoff has the reputation of being one of the most successful lobbyists in Washington.
The movie is based on a true story and was the last film George Hickenlooper directed before his death in 2010. Starring Kevin Spacey, Barry Pepper and Jon Lovitz, the film tells the story of Washington Lobbyist Jack Abramoff (Spacey), his underling and partner in crime Michael Scanlon, and their less than legal money-making schemes which lead to a full scale corruption investigation. For anyone who has an interest in the ins and outs of the American political system, Casino Jack is a film not to be missed.
