Jim Schembri is wrong again.

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2000)

We settled for The Insider because American Beauty was all full up. Russell Crowe and Al Pacino were terrific, and the story of course is worth a movie script, but what got us were a) the music - a fabulous mix of opera and jazz as I recall and b) the photography. Mind you, I was going to spare IMDB one of my mediocre "reviews" until I saw what Jim Schembri had to say in The Age. If you are one of those who knows that whatever JS is attached to will be the opposite of what you are likely to think, this is a movie for you!
