A very good thriller

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2012)

The Insider is a 1999 movie directed by Micheal Mann based on a segment of CBS TV Show "60 Minutes". The movie depicts the true events that happened in the background. It is a about an interview of a tobacco company whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand portrayed by Russell Crowe. Al Pacino stars as Lowell Bergman, the producer of the show. There is nothing flambuoyant, nothing extravagant, just true events although dramatized for the sake of a movie.
The movie is a fantastic, pure thriller. It will grip you to the seats till the end. The screenplay is really brilliant but the standout factor is the acting of the two titans, Russell Crowe and Al Pacino. I was amazed by their performances.
I am not going to elaborate on the storyline here. You just watch and enjoy.
