Product: The Insider [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Excellent!
American Beauty deserved the oscar, but that's not to say that The Insider isn't a good movie. Rather I'd list it as number 2 of the nominees, and for good reason - it's an amazing film. Both Crowe and Pacino deliver wonderful performances, and the story is an interesting critique on the role of the media and the problems with big business. If I have any complaint of this film, it would be its subjective nature, but that's to be expected from any film.The Insider is one of the best films of the year, just behind Fight Club and American Beauty.See it!
