Game, Set, Match-Best movie of the year

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2000)

Michael Mann has enamored me how one can go from the ultra cheesy Miami Vice to the big screen with movies like the very underated Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, The heart stopping Heat, and now the gutwrenching Insider.
So accurate in portraying an even that can be considered a black eye for the Black Eye and corporate America. I didn't want this movie to end, I wanted it to keep on going deeper and deeper into the lies that Corporate America has bestowed upon us in an effort to line their pockets and influence the youth of the future. I'm not ready for a revolution yet, but I will say that if someone passes on this movie because they don't want to see Al Pacino just walk through another role is very wrong. To me, he was Lowell Bergmann and not some Mafia kingpin, miscast football coach or even worse yet, the Devil.
Would someone please tell me where Rip Torn was in this movie? It's either I was so completely enamored wit the rest of the performances and I missed some clever make-up, but I didn't see him!
Russell Crowe, has acheived a success now that will catpult him to the top of his profession. While Kevin Spacey's performance in American Beauty will not be topped for the Academy Award, There will be bigger and bigger things for this great actor. Blindfold yourself and tell me if you can tell the difference between his and Mel Gibson's voice.
