Using the Jack Abramoff scandal as the framework to do that is inspired, but still barely enough. politics into a single coherent short story. The film's main challenge is to circumscribe the large and somewhat ill-defined subject of money's influence on U.S. The film is not particularly "slanted" or "one-sided" (although it's fairly easy to figure out where the filmmakers sympathies lie), and doesn't try hard to "demonize" any individual (although some subjects do a pretty good job of demonizing themselves). For example, many scenes that could be nothing more than dry transcript reading are in fact voiced by an actor over an image of a moving reel tape player as well as the printed materials. It's firmly in the form of a "documentary", but with a much larger team and budget and higher production values than that category label might at first lead you to expect. "Casino Jack" is about the Jack Abramoff lobbying/influence-peddling/fraud scandal.
