Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Compromise Truth, and we will Fall.
This is an excellent movie. Great acting and great cast for a great point------compromise the truth, and the ball of lies just keeps rolling. This is essentially a true story. Al Pacino's character who was a real producer fighting for the truth at '60 minutes', says at the end of the movie: what has been broken here can never be fixed--------and so it goes with all the major institutions of this current world we live in. You want to know in an overall sense what is wrong in our time, watch this movie! It is truely an 'essential' movie. The only thing Al Pacino's character can do at the end is quit. And what about our true hero, the 'insider', played by Russell Crowe? Any viewer must honestly ask themselves now, in 2006, is it really possible to be a hero given the tidal wave that stands against honesty today. I am an optimist by nature. But like Pacino's character at the end of this landmark film, I have seen the light and the emperor has no clothes!!!! Don't miss this film.
