Surprised by how much I enjoyed it!

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2009)

The first time I saw this movie I just thought it would be a very boring and slow movie. However I actually thought this was a very compelling movie even though it goes by very slowly. Unlike Mann's other movies like Heat and Collateral I really loved this one the first time I saw it. In my opinion this is one of Pacino's best movies and Crowe gives his best performance which is even better and the complete opposite of his character in LA Confidential. This is Mann's best movie and my third all time favorite behind Zodiac and Pulp Fiction. Despite Pacino struggling to get the interview aired he makes being a producer for 60 minutes seem like it would be a very fun job to have. I really think Crowe should have won best actor and the movie should have won best picture because like a lot of other great movies you'll never get tired of watching it.
