Where to Watch

Casino Jack and the United States of Money lacked coherence & pacing, which is a shame because this documentary basically strives to show how our political process isn’t that far from the world of Boardwalk Empire or bro exploitive culture with a thin veneer of Jesus speak to make it playable for voters to approve what lobbyists want so lobbyists and politicians can get what they want: money! Would have been better if the film spent more time profiling each character, clearly transitioned by showing what they look like now, distinguish them from the talking heads that were discussing them before simply launching in to their sensational exploits and different time jumps, including helping people who later because enemies of US or at least American principles of right or wrong.
