Reviews for Casino Jack
With Casino Jack, George Hickenlooper culls the wit of Primary Colors, the dark layers of Advise and Consent, the tension of All the President's Men, and the insider awareness of The Candidate to create his own unique work—a cinematic treasure, and a book that captures in print format what is so wonderful on screen." —Rod Lurie, director, The Contender
