Movie Haiku:Fictional treatment of the Jack Abramoff story, recounting the high flying Shrub years that eventually landed America''''''''s most infamous lobbyist in prison. Altho Spacey digs into the title role with great relish, the overall tone is too farcical (why a bouncy faux ''''''''60s soundtrack?) with evidence of deep understanding of what makes the real Abramoff tick.
