An interesting story which is ruined by totally inappropriate music, disjointed and distracting cinematography, 2-dimensional performance from Kevin Spacey, and a bizarre trying-to-be-funny tone which permeates the entire film. Barry Pepper is pretty good here, but actually I think it would have been more interesting to see him in the lead role rather than supporting Spacey. This film should have been darker, slower and more introspective. Instead it just comes across as flippant and convoluted.

"A mixture of light satire, light tragedy, political thriller, and domestic drama: a Casino Jack of all trades, a master of none."

Kevin Spacey play the same type role he has done numerous times before but he is very good at it. The rest of the cast is good here, it is nice to see Jon Lovitz in a good supporting role.

Shows what these rats get up to.

Em português, "O Super Lobista" conta a história das relações entre o lobista Jack Abramoff e a política americana. Interessante assisti-lo, visto que nos EUA o lobbying é uma atividade regulamentada. Então, caso alguém se interesse por política recomendo assisti-lo imaginando como será que essas ações funcionam por aqui, sendo que no Brasil o lobby é considerado crime.

Interesting look at lobbyism and a Spacey in top form. Still not that funny and not that much of a social commentary. Despite their similiraties, this movie is very far from being as exciting as Recount was, a movie I would recommend any day, if you're in the mood for a political movie.

the Jews do know how to make money and to get away with it, but in lobbying business nobody can harm them especially in the united states, but a very bad movie save yourself some time. don't attack Russell Crowe you're not better than him. silly Spacey.

"The film seems determined to make Jack Abramoff halfway redeemable, a questionable goal given the real-life damage the man wrought, no matter how much the system may have been to blame." - Andrew Schenker

Spacey seems to think he's making a comedy -- a good actorly instinct -- but director George Hickenlooper makes the offensive decision to treat Abramoff's transgressions as more grist for the Bush-grinding mill.

I don't know how much of it's true, but at least they failed to add anything interesting. Spacey and Pepper do a decent job but both are far from their prime.

Over the top generalizations and exaggeration run its biased politics into the ground. I was a fan of both Spacey and Pepper but I don't think I'll be able to wash their part in this out of my mind.

Seems like Mr. Spacey is on his way over the hill... Come back please, and stop beeing so full of yourself!

This is simultaneously the best work I've seen my one-time favorite actor Kevin Spacey do in a long time and also indicative of his fall from grace. Apparently he knows he is (or at least was) a gifted actor and he frequently goes overboard. In this film, I actually think it's part of the tone Hickenlooper's going for, as Barry Pepper's performance is perhaps even more all-out. It's a decent but neither particularly involving nor very funny film. Lovitz' escape move was pretty hilarious, though.
