Jack has served as executive producer and writer for Red Scorpion and its sequel, both of which are action films. So, Jack understands movies. His worries are not unreasonable. Even viewers like me, who have been paying attention to real-life topics for a long time and who are relatively familiar with current affairs in the United States, can only watch the documentary about Jack several times, and only when they are more relaxed. There are too many interviews in the film and it is too boring, and it is more suitable as the material for the court to judge the case. In addition, there is an irreparable regret. The protagonist Jack did not come forward at all, and the director could only collect historical footage about him. Watching this documentary is like watching a spider weave its web. A huge web of corruption crisscrossed and connected in all directions was clearly unfolding before our eyes, but we didn't see any spiders.

The spider is now free. When Jack was released from prison in December 2010, it was time to catch up with the release of a feature film about him. The name was slightly simplified from the documentary, omitting the "United States of Money", and it was called "Casino Jack" (Casino Jack). Jack's name is destined to be closely associated with the casino, although he has no penchant for gambling. If Jack's commemorative coin is issued, his head can be placed on the front, and the casino's pattern will be painted on the back. A super lobbyist, his most famous clientele is a casino run by an Indian tribe. Indian casinos provide Jack with the most important operating income, and the numbers are staggering. In the movie, Jack offers three years and $30 million to lobby the Chippewa tribe in Michigan. Even Jack's partners thought it was a ridiculous amount of money.

Generally speaking, the economic development level of Indian tribes is hardly higher than the average level of the United States. Even for the tribes that made their fortunes from casinos, $30 million is a huge sum. It could allow more elderly people to enjoy their old age, more young people to be well educated, and the tribe's social security system may be further improved. Why would they give up all these benefits and give Jack a huge sum of money? From the movie, Jack provides two main things to help Indian casinos, first to ensure they enjoy low taxes, and second to prevent other neighboring tribes from opening new casinos, killing competitors in the cradle. This all needs to go through the legislative process of the US Congress. Jack patted Indians on his chest and said he could effectively influence legislation because of his close ties to prominent figures in Congress, such as House Majority Leader Tom Delay, a Republican from Texas. Dilay once called Jack one of his closest friends, and the two of them visited Russia together, went to the Marianas for tropical Pacific views, and went on a golf trip to Scotland. Several of Diley's assistants for many years later became Jack's partners or colleagues.
