A tale of truth which slowly emerges.

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2001)

It is a rare pleasure to witness on screen a film which not only is enjoyable to watch but will also leave you with a sense of darkness, sorrow and regret.
Strong dialogue and even stronger emotions are displayed by Al Pacino's "live on the edge" character Lowell Bergman and Russel Crowe's whistle-blowing Jeffrey Wigand will leave you saddened and hooked whilst the remainder of the cast give the performances of their lives.
It's a tale of truth which slowly emerges whilst a character's faith quickly falls. A true masterpiece if ever there was one.
