Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Almost perfect film.
There were a few very good films in 1999. The Insider was sure one of them. It is so well crafted, every aspect of it. Russell Crowe performance is astonishing, you can actually feel the torture that this man went through -I loved Kevin Spacey in American Beauty, but I think Crowe is fantastic here, well, they gave him the Oscar for Gladiator, to compensate. The documentary-styled photography makes the movie even more gripping.I loved Lisa Gerard's music, by the way, solemn and dramatic, and finally redemptive, when Crowe's character's battle is finally over.
