Review of The Insider (1999) by Charles R — 29 Jun 2013
A political thriller that brings the full circle of big time 'intelligence' leaks (lawyers, reporters, big-pocketed CFO's, and most of all, the 'whisteblower') into Michael Mann's hardboiled frame - like most of Mann's 90's output, this is one happy pulse-racer of a film.
Russel Crowe, Al Pacino, and a perfectly cast Christopher Plummer, deliver grade-A attention to this important case in American journalistic/legal history. 5/5 A great time for both Pacino and Crowe, as well as Mann.
Knockout film.
