Powerful Perfornances and a very Interesting Story,

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2015)

The Insider is a great movie with a very well developed storyline and a terrific cast. It's a very thrilling film with inspired performances from the entire cast, particularly Russell Crowe and Al Pacino of course, packed with some very intense scenes and superb dialogue. I feel like it was certainly longer than it needed to be, though this is an interesting story, it didn't need to be almost three hours long, it had a complicated story but they easily could have taken stuff out and made it shorter and sweeter for an average moviegoer, instead it added more stuff that didn't really happen. Michael Mann was certainly the perfect choice to direct this, he is fantastic at capturing the darkness of real life events, there were moments were I felt like I was genuinely there with these characters, I felt the seriousness of this true story. Intense and very well acted, I would recommend the Insider to anyone looking for a good drama or thriller.
