Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Sterling film making
The film is long; the impact is devastating. The entire cast is so commited that singling out Crowe and Pacino and Plummer seems unfair. The fact that this is a true story makes the film all the more terrifying. Are we really this manipulated by the media, by constraints of big business? Can we ever know the truth about such issues? As long as films like this surface we are fortuantely forced to stand and ask. A triumph of film making that addresses contemporary foibles.
