Review of The Insider (1999) by Ibraheem M — 30 Apr 2014
Mann's best film. He turns what could've been an average muckraker drama into riveting and sleek filmmaking. 2 and a half hrs whiz by thanks to a rigorously researched and smart screenplay by Eric Roth, powerful performances by Pacino, Crowe (his best), and Plummer, and Mann's own directorial stylings and instincts.
It's a masterpiece of the genre and one of the best films of '90s, a blistering and engaging story about the price of truth.
