Great Performances and Character Portrayal

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 1999)

I went to see this movie in the theater and I really enjoyed it.
Michael Mann is excellent at creating films that are long as well as entertaining. I have not seen a movie that long that is that good since "English Patient".
Al Pacino as Lowell Bergman was very good. He has the right kind of acting qualities to play this role.
Russel Crowe as Jeffery Wigland was not the greatest performance but I thought he did a good job.
The supporting cast was good as well. Christopher Plummer was good as Mike Wallace. Debbie Mazar was good as Debbie DeLuca. Diane Venora was good as Wigland's wife and Gina Gershon had a small role yet an excellent one as Helen Caperelli.
This is definitely one to see in the theater!
