I still like this movie. However...

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2014)

This was one of my first Al Pacino and Russell Crowe movies, but in theaters, it seemed to go on endlessly. The trailer made it look very intriguing and overall, it wasn't too far off. The summary has been told on several websites that I venture, so I'll spare you the repetition. Even before this film came out, I never wanted to smoke, mostly due to my asthma, and more recently, because it just killed my grandma (after being a 40 year smoker, until finally quitting when I was 17, I'm 33 now!)I saw how it affected her, until her agonizing last breathe, and the tobacco industry still infuriates me, because of that! The fact that the industry cares more about money than health issues, despite how harmful their product is, lied about it, threatened Wigand and CBS, makes my blood just boil! Please understand me: I do like this film, but I haven't watched it recently because of just loosing my grandma, I can watch certain scenes, but not the whole thing, I'm just not ready.
