A work of true brilliance.

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 1999)

Michael Mann has been one of my favorite director's ever since he made Last of the Mohicans. His work in Heat and now The Insider has pushed him up into my top five directors of all time.
Who else could write something so brilliant and so timeless a story that would include Deniro and Pacino in the starring roles.

If you don't think this film is a classic of true story telling, go rent Heat and look for the scene in the coffee shop between Pacino and Deniro, ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE!!!
