You Don't Know Jack

YOU DON'T KNOW JACK (2010) - April 25, 2010
A well made and exceptionally well acted bio-pic about Dr. Jack Kevorkian, AKA Dr. Death.  Al Pacino gives a really phenominal performance as Kevorkian -- certainly, it's his best performance in a while and probably right up there with his best work.  All the other performances are just as good, though it's definitely Pacino who makes the biggest impact.  The film is well over two hours but doesn't feel long at all, and is surprisingly well directed by Barry Levinson, who hasn't made a film this good in many, many years (which really surprised me, since his output over the last two decades or so has been so horrible).  Good stuff.  ***1/2
