Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 2.0
Good story but Over Rated!
I am not saying that this is a bad movie or bad story... not at all. But here are the disappointments that might hit you:1. One of things that might disappoint the audience is that it cannot be easily swallowed after Russel's great movie "Gladiator". 2. Second when you say Al Pacino, we remember his greatests "Heat" or "Devil's Advocate". So this movie does not easily fit with many of his great movies.So the success of this movie is no more determined by the actors past successful history, but only if the story is good or not. And yes the story was good and had its certain type of suspense but it gets in a frame that we all knew about this story and now it has got out.In other words, we always believed that smoking cigarettes is an addiction. No this film told us why and how. So it's not new, but now it is out.I see that this type of story needed not such expensive great actors except to attract more audience!
