One of the best movies of the past decade.

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2009)

"The Insider" is a prime example of how when talent is mixed the results are memorable, excellent.
The Director picked the best choices for the main characters. Russell Crowe delivers an extraordinary performance and starts really strong but then demonstrates his desperation when "things" get out of control. Al Pacino is a master and delivers a great performance as always.
But the best thing about this movie is the intriguing and solid plot. When you think about the tobacco industry many adjectives come to your mind, but after watching this movie you won't help but associate it with corruption, financial interests by the powerful people who also dominate government, and worst of all, when such powerful people tend to take things to a personal level.
"The Insider" is one of the most clever, intriguing, and written movies of the past 20 years. Please give it a try and give the respect it deserves.
