Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
This movie rocks!
I wasn't expecting much from a "based-on-a-true-story" movie but this was just plain amazingly well-done. It wasn't just Al Pacino and his intensity or Christopher Plummer and his eerie similiarity with Mike Wallace (which I totally believed), but my God, Russell Crowe! He gave an amazing performance. The subtlety of his expressions and that accent!! Where did that come from? This movie just shows the range he can perform, from Neo Nazi in Romper Stomper to strong-arm cop in L.A. Confidential to this quiet man who has the biggest secret in the world to tell. If you love an "actor's movie" this is totally your movie to watch.
