You Don't Know Jack

You Don't Know Jack (2010) is an HBO biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Barry Levinson, it stars Al Pacino as the real-life pathologist Jack Kevorkian — a man who turned the right-to-die debate into a one-man legal war against the American medical establishment.

From the late 1980s through 1999, Kevorkian assisted over a hundred terminally ill patients in ending their lives. States passed laws targeting him specifically. His medical licence was stripped. Two criminal trials ended in acquittals. The third sent him to prison. The film tracks this escalating collision between personal conviction and the courts, with Danny DeVito-calibre sparring from Danny Huston as his combative lawyer, John Goodman as his longtime collaborator, and Susan Sarandon as an activist whose involvement grows complicated.

Pacino plays Kevorkian without a halo. The man is stubborn, occasionally reckless, and completely certain he's right — which makes him far more interesting than a simple martyr. The film landed two Golden Globe wins. Stream You Don't Know Jack (2010) online on iFILM.
