greed and corruption everywhere

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2000)

This film scored 9/10.
Well acted, well directed, and based on fact. The film shows human nature at its worst. What would you do for money? That's what motivates many of the people behind the events that surround Jeffrey Wigand.
I also wonder about his wife. She is portrayed as a selfish woman only interested in the status of her life. A small role, but well done. Was she really like that? So why did he stay with her?
I wonder how factual the scenes about Mike Wallace (6o minutes host) were We see him give in to the cover up, but when one of his TV editorials is edited down he loses it and again supports the struggle to get the truth out.
Similarly, the TV station looks bad trying to cover up in the cause of money.
It's a shame that we, as the human race, have such little integrity.
