Good Acting. Solid Film

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2015)

This is just a well acted film that has a solid, no bull-s--- way of storytelling to it.
The only thing lacking in it is any explosive scenes. The most explosive scene to me was when Crowe is called into the office and they threaten and blackmail him, but besides that there are not many memorable, strong scenes.
However, that's okay if that's the kind of story it is. Instead, it is driven more by dialogue, acting, and "based on true events" story, that had major ramifications.
Crowe was outstanding, and really pulls off some incredibly good subtle acting- it's a quietly brilliant performance. Pacino was very good, as usual.
There needs to be more movies made like this. It's just solid and "GOOD". From Michael Mann, what do you expect?
