Exceptionally well made movie.

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 1999)

I thought this was an extremely well made movie. Michael Mann is at the top of his form. Russell Crowe has turned in an excellent portrayl of Jeffrey Wigand. Christopher Plummer was so believable as Mike Wallace there were times I forgot it wasn't really him. Al Pacino is always a joy to watch. He makes acting seem so simple and flawless. The pace was slow but my interest was held throughout, and this type of story benefits from the slower pace. The only discordant part for me was the music, but after a while I really didn't notice. I recommend this movie highly for inteligent adult fare.
