Pretty good stuff

Rating: Null/10 (19 February 2000)

This is probably the only movie based on a true story in 1999 that hasn't come under fire. Because they don't grossly alter facts, and they had a disclaimer for the things they embellished.
It's good to see the Tobacco industry come under fire. Good to see how ridiculous our legal system is.
The movie didn't need to be as long as it was. It could have been trimmed down in places. And they could have lost the one ridiculous thing in the movie, when Russel Crowe is looking into the mirror, and it transforms into his family.
I avoided this movie, because I'm not a fan of Pacino. I think he's become kind of a joke, yelling most of his lines in movies nowadays. Normally being a real spas.
I thought Crowe did a good job, although I don't think he should have made the top five for acting. I think Damon or Cusak deserved that slot more.
