You Can Call Him Al!

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2001)

Nobody in the movies shouts quite like Pacino. This is probably his best performance since Scent Of A Woman.Great support from Russell Crowe as the put-upon former tobacco man and Christopher Plummer is also wonderful as the legendary Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame.Based on a true story,Michael Mann keeps up the interest throughout the long running time and gives us a tale of corporate responsibility and double dealings conflicting with journalistic integrity and personal loyalties. The story of the responsibilities of tobacco companies is likely to be an ongoing one for many years and this movie, as well as being entertaining, provides a good starting point for finding out all about the subject.
