Drew's Thoughts:Infinitely more fascinating than the Kevin Spacey biopic Casino Jack, Dolphin-winner Alex Gibney (Gonzo) weaves the bizarre and sometimes depressing portrait of super lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his various activities with US Congress. Tracing his small beginnings as a College Republican, including an unsuccessful detour into the movie business, to becoming the top lobbyist in the D.C., scheming and screwing over people around the world to the tune of millions of dollars.
Abramoff makes for an interesting if sickening subject, particularly if you don't know much about him (like me). The sheer breadth and weirdness of his life makes for perfect documentary material.
