Review of The Insider (1999) by Paul J — 31 May 2008
How can one be a true hero in our contemporary times? It's truly remarkable how riveting this film is. In the hands of a lesser filmmaker, it might have come across slightly dull. Right off the bat, it's the emotional attachment we feel for the charactes that keeps us engaged.
The obstacles become insanely difficult for both Pacino and Crowe, that we can not help but marvel at their dedication and integrity. Incredible consummate filmmaking. Simply put: Michael Mann at his best and Russell Crowe delivers the performance of his career (even his body language is pitch-perfect.
) Lisa Gerrard contributes nicely as well.
