Director Michael Mann contributed a lot of acclaimed and popular films, especially thrillers. Like Al Pacino and Robert De Niro's debut "Heat", Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx's "Collateral" and Daniel Day-Lewis' "The Last of the Mohicans" All his works. Michael Mann's films are known for their intricate camera movements, thoughtful structures, fluid and ambiguous imagery, and characters with complex personalities. These characters tend to fearlessly pursue what they want, even at the cost of losing everything.

This film is Michael Mann's most successful work, based on the exposure of the real experience of Big Tobacco scientist Jeffrey Wigand. Despite the discrepancy between the film and the historical facts, it still eloquently embodies the encouraging truth of a man's devastating information fully exposed through the free media of Big Tobacco's lies. The film earned Michael Mann three Oscar nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

In this Michael Mann masterpiece, Al Pacino's "60 Minutes" ace producer and Russell Crowe's Big Tobacco-fired scientist have complex personalities. Watching these two powerful male stars play is very enjoyable. Russell Crowe also won his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

Although the film has 157 minutes, it is not lengthy.

The film also received Oscar nominations for Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound.

Rating: 9.5 out of 10

    7.6/10 Not only enjoyed an excellent film, but also had a preliminary understanding of this history. Saw a more real, flesh-and-blood media world

    I like the mood at the end. While the tone is sometimes quirky, I'm sure it will be revisited at key moments, and only this amount of information and twist is worthy of the difficult reality.
