Review of The Insider (1999) by Jeff B — 28 Sep 2009
Incredibly long, but kept up the suspense throughout most of the movie. I wish the wrap-up would have been a bit quicker, but the movie never really dragged. I'm a bit unsure why Crowe's performance received so much attention in this, however; it seems pretty standard Russell Crowe, and he's not really even the main character. Al Pacino sticks out more in this one, especially since he's so restrained through most of it.
So, good movie... a bit overrated.
