a blockbuster, but an immortal one!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2000)

When I decided to see the movie, I had no idea of his impact. I thought it was just one of those blockbusters such as "The Phantom Menace". But I was impressed of Russell Crowe's performance in the Insider, a superb film. So I just went to the cinema, sat back in my chair and let the film overwhelm me. I missed no second of it; it was great. The music, the great pictures, great actors and again a superb Crowe. Some of the scenes were immortal: the moment they entered the arena, the opening scene, ... Maybe it is the most impressive film I've ever seen (yeah even better as Braveheart, my favourite). All right, maybe this film was not historical correct and had not such a great story such as the Godfather but that's of no importance to me. There are other things that make from this movie an all-time classic, just sit back, relax and be impressed!
