The Insider: Objective News Ain't

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: Great character study of Mike Wallace and the inside workings of the news industry.
Review: The Insider (1999)

Director Michael Mann has another hit in The Insider. The film purports to tell the story of Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe) who decides to share the inside story of tobacco's research in ways to make cigarettes more...

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. An excellent dramatization of one of the most fascinating true stories of the 1990s.
Review: VIEWER WARNING: The Insider contains graphic and explicit scenes of truth-telling, acceptance of responsibility, putting public duty before private interests, and demonstrating moral courage in the face of public vilification. Viewer discretion...

When truth isn't enough

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2000
Review: The Basics:

So, here you have it, The Insider is the story of a man, willing to risk it all to simply speak the truth. If only it were that simple. This truth, which he believes the general public has a right, no a need to know. This same...

American Justice = Whoever Has the Most Money Wins

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Insider to anyone. It's a story that everyone should see and it's put together masterfully by Michael Mann.
Review: I enjoy compiling researching and reviewing top ten movie lists of years, decades and genres. I have been preparing my list of the best films from 1999. While researching for my list of the top ten films released in 1999,The Insider kept popping up...

Review: The Plot:
60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) may possibly get the interview of a lifetime. Dr. Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe), a former executive of the third largest tobacco company, is willing to break his confidentiality...

The Insider

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 1999
Review: Lowell Bergman is constantly negotiating on the phone. His cellular phone is his lifeline. It keeps him connected to everyone that revolves around the business of information. Bergman is damn good at what he does, too. In 14 years, he has neither...

The Insider: Just Give Me a Blindfold and Shoot Me. I don't need a cigarette

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: Even Russell Crowe's and Al Pacino's acting couldn't save this dog. Would you like a cigarette and a blindfold?
Review: The Insider is based on a true story. And McDonald's makes their hamburgers with real beef -- not from real beef. I know there is a lot of fact in this movie, but frankly, I stopped caring before it ended. I got the message(s). Big corporations can...

May Be Hazardous To Your Health

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2000
Review: Michael Mann?s gritty, somewhat depressing whistle-blower flick is an engrossing study of a man?s struggle between his conscience and the welfare of his family. It is also the best film about journalism since All the President?s Men and perhaps the...
