BEST ACTOR

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2000)

Although I enjoyed 'Heat', I've always felt it to be an overrated film. However, 'The Insider' is a great film, that I'm sure will stand the test of time. Pacino manages to control his shouting, and give his best performance for a long time. Whilst Crowe is simply superb. You get the sense of his character's shyness, anger, tension and loneliness. I wanted Spacey to take the BEST ACTOR, but Crowe deserves it a lot more. A film with no sex, violence, action that will leave you gripped and hooked for every minute.
