Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

adonis98-743-186503 A look at the life and work of doctor-assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian. You Don't Know Jack is a great HBO Film that showcases the life of Jack Kevorkian also known as Doctor Death who allows his dying individuals the right to determine how their lives will end. Some people accused him as a murderer others as a savior and from what i see in this film i think he is a savior he believes that people who are very sick and die day by day deserve a shot like this so he somehow helps them kill themselves he is not a god he is just doing his job in his own way and Al Pacino's performance is fantastic, charismatic and very thrilling the same goes for John Goodman and Danny Huston. It's not one of his best movies ever but it's definitely very strong and has a very powerful performance by Pacino although in my opinion Danny Collins was way better it was more optimistic and even more fun and thrilling but still a very good film 9/10

robert-259-28954 There are very few films that I think should be seen by every adult over the age of 30. This is one of them. As always, this film belongs to Al Pacino. His depiction of this little known or understood man, a groundbreaking personality in any regard, is both subtle and incredibly powerful. While Dr. Kavorkian was known as hero to those afflicted with intractable pain and suffering, and to others, namely those who call themselves Christians, he was viewed as Satan incarnate. My sympathies are unapologetic, and equally doubtless. I think that Jack Kavorkian was a great man, as important as any iconic figure in recent history, and a fearless fighter for human rights and dignity in the face of both the laws of a nation, and the laws of a particular religion. In my eyes, he was a relentless seeker of truth, a warrior without armor. In years hence, I believe he will be viewed in a far more acceptable and positive light. RIP.

PWNYCNY This movie offers a non-sensationalized account of the career of Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Although the movie is not unbiased, it still manages to avoid becoming an outright polemic arguing in favor of assisted suicide. The movie presents both sides of the issue. The title character, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, is portrayed as a victim of a justice system that is too inflexible and biased to afford him justice. Hence, he is treated as a criminal for doing something that he believes is beneficial his patients, which is assisting them in exercising their right to die. Dr. Kevorkian is portrayed as a crusader for patients' rights which he claims are being ignored by a medical establishment that would rather permit a patient to die in pain than to end the suffering. Kevorkian's argument is compelling. The problem is, as depicted by the movie, that Dr. Kevorkian is assisting his patients without any outside controls as would normally be expected for any kind of treatment modality. This leaves him vulnerable to criminal prosecution which occurs, thus effectively ending his medical career. Al Pacino's resemblance to the actual Jack Kevorkian is uncanny; his performance is outstanding. He captures Kevorkian's rage, sense of indignation and his commitment to his cause. There is no question that Dr. Kevorkian believed that he was doing right by his patients. He knows that he is going it alone and that it is only a matter of time before he is stopped.

Carma Simonsen I have paid attention to Dr. Jack Kevorkian since his name first made national news, and I have always been a proponent of what he stood for, and disgusted that the media hype ruined what otherwise could have been a long overdue national debate by mature adults in positions of leadership, legislators, and voters. Instead, they went for the macabre "Dr. Death" inflammatory label, to sell more soap as usual, and line their pockets because that's all those people care about, obviously. Dr. Kevorkian was and continues to be one of my real heroes. Few people will sacrifice their conveniences, name, social status, etc., for the good of others. People who are in tremendous chronic pain - physical and mental anguish, every minute of every day - deserve better than to have to put a gun to their head, or have to wither away with bed sores and tasteless food pushed into their stomachs. I hope that if I ever need the medical services he provided to his 130+ suffering patients, I will find a physician who understands and will do what Dr. Kevorkian did.This is an excellent movie, well made, and I appreciate Al Pacino's performance, which was very believable - I forgot I was watching him, I was seeing Dr. Kevorkian. I also am grateful that Susan Sarandon joined this cast. There is absolutely nothing bad about this movie. It is a well crafted story based on real events. I like the way the director told it. I like the way it is edited. All of the cast gave excellent performances. This is a story that had to be told on film to make a difference in humanity and compassionate treatment.THANK YOU, DR. KEVORKIAN, AND THANK YOU TO YOUR SUPPORTERS AND TO THE FILMMAKERS. THANK YOU TO YOUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
