Gotta love Russell

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 1999)

Just a few short notes:
There was an actor playing Mike Wallace?
There was someone _acting_ as Wigand?
How did Al Pacino figure into this in real life?
Can Russell Crowe do intensity subtly or what? (at least he won't be going up against any of his LA Confidential castmates except Spacey come Oscartime)
Creates a wonderful feel with everything technical, then adds a wallop with the acting, scripting, and directing.
The partially repetitive style makes it feel in some aspects like a 60 Minutes show, itself.
The Insider and Fight Club both show you that you're watching a movie, Fight Club more directly, Insider much more subtly as the presentation mimics the theme of media manipulating the facts of the case.
