Review of The Insider (1999) by John S — 24 Jun 2009
Excellent film by Mann. I missed this in 1999. It is long movie 2 hrs 37 minutes. Somewhat slow when you see how much goes on behind the lines in investigate journalism. Good story I would like to see the 60 minutes episode. I might have see that I forget. I wish they had gone more into the dirty secretes he had about the tobacco companies.
This is a classic whistle blower docudrama (corporate thriller). Whistle blowers can have a lot to loose in their lives. (and he did) Great cast high productions values. the movie moves slowly but I did not mind. Crowe and Pacino are great in this movie and so is the supporting case. Three or four stars. recommended closer to four stars.
