Great movie, superb acting

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2000)

The fight of a David against Goliath is principally not new but with regard to this movie, director Michael Mann could keep you close to the very topical subject of the illegal and destructive practice of the tobacco industry for almost 3 hours without having a minute of being tired. Russell Crowe is amazing concerning his acting and he will hopefully surprise us with some more of this great performances in future films. Al Pacino as well is convincing in his role. The movie is credible and gives it's viewers an as deep as possible view into the real circumstances the movie is based on. Everybody - smoking or not - should watch this. Highly recommended!
