A quiet, horrible ride

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2011)

As a video selector for a public library, I added this amazing film to the collection. I own it and have watched it at least eight times. I believe part of the reason the film succeeds so admirably is Crowe's portrayal of Wigand. The cast in general is excellent and there are so many small moments that resonate. The music is excellent and contributes to the emotional tone of the film. Plummer is good, Pacino is good, but Crowe is excellent as the quiet moral man who bucks a corporation. For anyone who is looking for a 'true' story and an excellent telling of that story. Hopefully, this film will continue to appear on movie channels so that audiences will have the chance to see it. It bears more than one viewing and it is an exceptional film.
