I know a lot of people didn't care for it, but i fucking loved The Men Who Stare at Goats. It's one of my favorite movies and i read the book because i liked it so much. Spacey's character is kind of a dick, but he plays it well.
I don't follow national politics much, but i can't believe i never heard of Jack Abramoff before i saw Casino Jack. The level of manipulation and corruption is almost unbelievable. Him and his partner Mike Scanlon each made $21 million by defrauding Indian casinos. Ties to almost everyone in the Bush administration, ties to Sun Cruz gambling cruise ships, ties to sweat shops in US territories, ties to Russian mob (the KGB?) and Russian arms dealers, and even connections to the American mafia. It's mind boggling!
For a movie tie in, he produced blatantly anti communist movie Red Scorpion starring Dolph Lundgren. The money to finance the project came from ties to South Africa. The same South Africa that was perpetuating Apartheid.
