Tough Story to Sell

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2000)

The movie is filled with great actors to be sure. But even the best acting can not save an otherwise dull story. The movie is dull for two reasons. Everyone is now aware that smoking is not healthy, so that aspect of the movie now seems uneventful. The movie is constrained from having flashing action scenes, because real life is not that way and this story is suppose to be remotely close to life of a real insider. The most troubling part of the film is its length. It needs to be cut by at lease 45 minutes to be more bearable.
