Did Carton finance this?
Wow. A puff piece to make this loser a victim. Don’t waste your time unless you are fan and want to excuse him.
VIEWS ON FILM review of Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth
“Craig comes from a line of shock jocks”. I’ve never heard of the guy until now. “Craig” refers to radio personality and New Yorker Craig Carton. He is featured in a documentary that probes his early life till his present day actuality in 2020. Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth is said documentary and yup, it’s my latest review.Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth is about well, a loudmouth, a kind of controversial Howard Stern for the sports world. It’s a straightforward docu that is of course, HBO ready. There are plenty of interviews, tight editing, flashbacks, decent NYC cinematography, and a sort of involuntary sympathy for its subject.
“Loudmouth” chronicles Craig Carton as he goes from being a successful broadcasting co-host to being a prison inmate at the United States Penitentiary, Lewisburg (that’s in Pennsylvania). Carton who was a compulsive gambler, was convicted of securities fraud and wire fraud. As the film concludes, he is a free man after serving just one year of a 3-year sentence.
Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth is directed by two people (Marin Dunn, Marie McGovern). They do an adequate job considering that they might have not had control over final cut (their documentary is a mere 76 minutes long).
Dunn and McGovern’s only misstep is allowing Carton to be featured too much, as if he were the financier, producer, and director himself. Carton seems like an okay dude who deserves a little redemption. However, Craig kind of uses his screen time in “Loudmouth” as a rudimentary platform or declaration. It’s sort of off-putting but it doesn’t deflate what is already a report worth revealing.
Bottom line: Every gambling addict might benefit from sitting down and watching “Loudmouth”. This “downfall” via Craig’s plight could only turn into a “rise”.
