Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
MASTERFUL WORK
As in his other memorable work, director Michael Mann hits all the right notes with THE INSIDER, a thrilling film filled with terrific performances by Russel Crowe, Al Pacino and Christopher Plummer. I could go on an on about this movie, but all that needs to be said is that is by far the BEST film of 1999, and although it won't win the Oscar, it certainly should have. Riveting, intelligent storytelling complimented by Mann's trademark visual style. Any fan of Mann's work knows what I mean. Tight close-ups, fantastic music score and wonderful cinematography. Don't let the length scare you. It's long and it needs to be. So did HEAT.
