Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
A true "blockbuster" of a movie
As a story and a piece of film-making, this is a true masterpiece, without the hype.The best of their fields have collaborated to make it all come together perfectly (Pacino, Crowe, Plummer, Mann and Roth - to name but a few).However thought-provoking it is, it must be remembered that the film is not a documentary but a dramatisation BASED on fact.For competing views on what constitutes the actual truth, take look at Jeff Wigand's web-site and that of Brown & Williamson.The movie challenges you to think about the broader ethical issues in corporate America (and elsewhere). As such, I found it to be one of the best movies I have ever had the pleasure of watching (more than once).
