Review of The Insider (1999) by Arsev A — 25 Feb 2010
You have two great actors, a great director, a great real-life script, seven Oscar nominations and what do you get in the end - a movie which manages to indulge in some foreplay but fails to give you the orgasm. The Insider could have been a gripping drama about corporate fraud, greed and standing up for your beliefs(which is such a common plot in Hollywood) but this two and a half hour film fails to keep up the pace. Al Pacino gives you some fine moments and thats it. Russell Crowe it seems used this film to prepare for 'A Beautiful Mind'.
Maybe because I saw it on DVD. Maybe I had too many expectations. Maybe life is not that fair.
Maybe.
Try this one of you are a Pacino fan.
