Holds it's own against All the President's Men. Silkwood or The China Syndrome.

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2000)

Sure, Russell Crowe did a good job in portraying Jeffery Wigand, but the real star for me was Christopher Plummer playing Mike Wallace. Not that he was Mike Wallace in the way that Jim Carrey was Andy Kaufman, but his attitude and presence was letter perfect. It reminded me of Jack Nicholson's cameo in Broadcast News - self important, pompous and so sure of himself.
