The Insider

[Aharami]

As far as drama based on real life events goes, I dont think I have ever seen a movie as well made as this. The acting was phenomenal! I had no idea Russel Crowe was such a good actor! Al Pacino was Al Pacino...awesome as usual. I thought the movie would be slightly boring, but it wasnt at all. Held my attention for the entire 157 minutes.
The script was very well written. At points I found myself getting shivers down my spine with joy..such as when "Wallace" goes throws a shitstorm after he finds out his interview was edited w/o his knowledge, or the many many monologues by Pacino...
Heck even the score was awesome!

If you havent watched this movie, I'd highly recommend it.

Now I know this movie was sensationalized a bit by hollywood, but it's still based on real life events. I had no idea big tobacco is this evil!

But I thought he travelled all around the world in his tugboat to beat up people...

Great great Michael Mann movie.

Lowell Bergman still works for Frontline (and does a great job btw). One of my local outlets re-aired his show on credit cards in America this week.

Yep, great movie...I wish they would release a better DVD set though. Although there probably is a 2-disc CE and I missed it 😛

It's one of my favorites, and I don't have a whole lot of favorite movies.

Definitely scores 5/5. One of my favorites.

Wait... is this a "fvcking great movie" or a "great fvcking movie"? There's a difference in my book 😉
