The Insider

This movie was absolutely incredible. I have to say that 1999 is THE GREATEST year for movies. 1999 is responsible for 4 of my A+ movies, and they are all up their for my favorites, and I have seen a lot... Full review

A great story told using great actors. Pacino, as always, is remarkable. Not normally a Russell Crowe fan(besides of course Gladiator), but you can't help but notice his talent in this almost true story of one man's fight against big tobacco.... Full review

The Insider carries a full force emotional punch and is as addictive from start to finish as anything from Philip-Morris. Russell Crowe delivers an amazing performance as the conflicted tobacco executive Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, struggling to do the right thing and... Full review

Russell Crowe at his best as a Kentucky tobacco executive in Eric Roth and Michael Mann's masterpiece, "The Insider," is one of the most underrated American films ever. Not only is it important historically for its political implications - not... Full review

This film is an excellent work though tobacco companies would probably hate it. It also reflects the dirty relationship among the media, large corporations and their interests. I think Crowe's awesome performance in this film must have led to more sensation... Full review

This is a meaningful, thought-provoking movie that is entertaining as well as enlightening. All of the major actors perform well, and there is an especially good performance by Al Pacino. It deserved all the seven Oscar nominations it received, and maybe... Full review

Another Russell Crowe great movie! Russell is great at portraying real characters in true stories, like A Beautiful Mind or Cinderella Man. His characters are normal everyday men that stand for something which we can relate to by giving us a... Full review

What makes the film even more interesting is the fact....With a gripping screenplay and some haunting music, The Insider is your classic edge-of-seat drama.....Al Pacino, as the news producer, is worth watching.....Russell Crowe who plays the subdued former tobacco company employee offsets Al Pacino's raving..... ...

It's strange to think The Insider was released just shy of ten years ago and was based on a 12-year-old "Vanity Fair" article and yet the tobacco industry seems just as strong as it has always been. Several close-up shots of each character's eyeballs requires so much more from an actor than just showing worry in body movement or stammering through dialogue and Pacino nailed it. ... Full Review

The Insider restores faith in the historical documentary-turned into drama, because it takes such care with the context and the details of the story - as all good journalists (and movie makers) should. Music also plays a powerful role, and the score is notable for its eclecticism and vibrancy, ranging from ambient dread, to choral to jazz to timpannic, with stylish flexibility. ... Full Review

There are sharp supporting performances from a first-rate cast that includes Diane Venora, Michael Gambon, Philip Baker Hall, Lindsay Crouse, Debi Mazar and Stephen Toblowsky.....Christopher Plummer does a silkily malevolent turn parodying the narcissism of Mike Wallace;....Everywhere you look in "The Insider," somebody's doing some terrific acting.....And in a terrific one-scene performance, Bruce McGill plays a Mississippi attorney general whose courtroom outburst at tobacco company lawyers provides a muc ...

Not only is "The Insider" fiercely directed, not only does it have memorable starring performances from Al Pacino and the marvelous Russell Crowe, but it has a tale to tell that is both substantial and significant. Even if you know every detail of this much-reported situation, it can't overemphasize how effectively Mann and company have ratcheted up the tension to involve us in the immediacy of the Wigand/"60 Minutes" story, to emphasize the chaotic personal dynamics, the battle of wills, that lurked behin ...
