Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Simply a Great Film...
The Insider is so engrossing that you forget that it's two and a half hours. Russell Crowe is the future of film, he gives an amazing performance as Jeff Wigant. Pacino gives another stellar performance and Michael Mann's direction is superb. This film is so intense you do not want to stop watching it, even for a minute. It is scary how much money big tobacco has and to what lengths the tobacco industries will go to keep inside information quiet. I find it unbelievable that this actually happened and even more unbelievable that CBS buckled to the pressure of big tobacco's threats. This is scary stuff, buy it, it is well worth your money.
