Kevin Spacey does a wonderful job portraying the slick, arrogant attitude of his character.
Of course, Jack’s plans go awry.ĬASINO JACK is inspired by the true events surrounding Jack Abramoff’s very public fall from grace. While lobbying for Indian casino tribes, Jack, along with his young, brash protégé, Michael Scanlon, set into motion a scheme to dupe the casino tribes out of millions and filter the funds into their own off-shore casino cruise company. A deeply devout Jew and strong conservative Republican, the Jack depicted here believes that, next to God, faith and country, the greatest thing in the world is influence. CASINO JACK, starring Kevin Spacey, is inspired by the true story of Jack Abramoff, an arrogant DC lobbyist associated with Republicans who pled guilty to felony fraud.
