Garbage

Rating: 4/10 (30 April 2000)

The Insider is completely unworthy of all the praise it's been getting. 7 acadamey award nominations that could have gone to movies like Magnolia or Man on the Moon. First off, like I've probably said before somewhere on this site, when you make a movie the number one goal is entertainment. If you want to make a movie with a political point, people are gonna have to want to watch it. If they stop it half way through then you've failed. I've never walked out of a movie and i rarely turn one off before its done, but this was so BORING and without any form of emotion other than anger. All we really see is Al Pacino (in a role he's played a million times before) and Russel Crowe, who looks like a small water animal who cant fight for himself, banter at each other for some kind of betrayl. If its not each other its somebody else! What a waist of time.
