Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer -- Film Review

10:15 PM PDT 10/14/2010 by Kirk Honeycutt

But with "Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer" there also is this: Emerging from the shadows of previous media reporting to appear -- and in some cases sneer -- in front of Gibney's unblinking cameras are a host of characters that would make Dickens weep with joy.
