Given the general attention-deficit disorder that afflicts the public - when they pay attention to the news long enough for anything substantial to register - the information packed into Alex Gibney's crisply overwhelming indictment of Republican business-as-usual - Casino Jack and the United States of Money - should come as a surprise and a shock to much of the electorate.
That is, providing they actually go to a theater to see it (or rent it when it goes to DVD or watch it when it shows up on TV). I highly recommend this movie - and I have little faith that the audience that most needs to see a film as intelligent, searing and provocative as this one would actually make the effort to seek it out.
I'd go so far as to call this the most important political film since Gibney's Oscar-winning Taxi to the Dark Side. And the Oscar-nominated Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
In clear, concise and infuriatingly thorough detail, Gibney tells the story of the rise of the conservative movement in the 1970s and 1980s - and the consequent metastasis of power into influence-peddling, bribery and general wrong-doing, spear-headed by greedy, grasping, conniving super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Gibney reaches into the usual bag of tricks to keep things light and snappy as he tries to connect the many dots. He throws in clips from old films (please, no more using Jimmy Stewart's "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"), and he uses wry chapter headings such as "Treasure Island" for a section of the film detailing Abramoff's lobbying efforts on behalf of sweatshop owners in the Northern Mariana Islands, and lots of retro music with funny lyrics. The tone of much of the film has that knowing, cynical, can't-shock-me-anymore flavor of liberal political satire on cable television.
Unfortunately, when I described the film to several friends and acquaintances after I saw it at Sundance in January, I was disheartened by the number of people who stopped me to say, "Jack who?"
