If you are not familiar with the work of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, this movie should fill you in nicely. He was an assisted suicide and euthanasia advocate during the nineties for which he was incarcerated and released from prison in 2007. During his time as an assisted suicide doctor he helped 133 people commit suicide. They were all terminally ill or in great, incurable pain. And now, the movie. First of all, Al Pacino is perfect for this role, he even looks like Jack, and as for his acting, it is superb. His performance of this eccentric doctor is the closest thing to Jack himself, which said several times in TV interviews. Although the movie is made for TV it is far better than the standard TV movies are, with an excellent cast and a very good script it is deeply moving and at times disturbing. Enjoy.
