Before Russel Crowe was a Jerk
The man can act, and this movie proves it. Yeah, he's obnoxious in interviews and he needs to learn a thing or two about humility, but the real reason he won his Oscar was not for Gladiator. It was for this movie (the Academy had to keep it in mind).The Insider is both dramatic, sheds light on our system, and happens to be true on top of all of that. Own it and think about what you'd do in the protagonist's situation.
