Plot:
A look at the life and work of doctor-assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian.

My Comment:
I thought this movie was fiction. And then I realized that this movie was unbelievably fiction. Because the plot was finding a way to make Jack Kevorkian above the law. Like Jack's permission to give euthanasia to his patients. Finally, the law itself could overcome the case by giving him sentence. I am confused of the Jack's euthanasia, because I don't agree how Jack ended the lives of people when the people were not in severe condition even though the disease was unfix-able. Miracles could happen (I think so). But, I agree with what Jack's stated that releasing the life support on sick people make them suffer just like in the medieval years.
About the movie, the plot was great, but I think it was a little boring, maybe because it was just a TV movie

My Comment:
You know, the duration was just too long and i kind of bored..
I prefer the first movie, more exciting and Al pacino still had his young good look, but in this movie he looked old and cruel
It's weird that Michael had this extremely change, he was a soldier and then he became an assassin... How come...

But Robert De Niro gave me a thrill, he's different, young and skinny
