Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
1999's Best Film
I can't get this film or its subject out of my mind. Maybe it's because as a health care worker I see the devastating effects of tobacco every day in my patients. The pain and suffering it causes make Dr. Wigand's cause noble and worth the price he paid to bring tobacco companies out in the open. I know that some of the facts have been Hollywoodized for the film but that doesn't diminish its power,. If you have ever doubted the power of Big Tobacco this film will convince you otherwise. It is the only product that when used as directed kills people. Splendid work by Mr. Crowe, who should have won this year's Oscar. Should be required viewing for anyone who treats smokers.
