The Insider - 9/10

I don't know how much of the film based on such a true story is true, but just for the film itself, the script is indeed impeccable. The film is not only aimed at the shady story of the tobacco company, but also exposes the hypocritical humanity. It also took a lot of space. . The style of director Michael Mann's films is mainly slow-paced, and the films are generally a little longer. I personally like this style very much, at least I feel that the story is very full. Such a wonderful script coupled with the mutual drama between the two movie stars is really enjoyable. It is worth mentioning that Russell Crowe's performance in this film is so wonderful that it even overshadowed Al Pacino!

There is a reason why two great movie stars participate in the performance. This is a classic of communication. Justice and compromise are hard choices, and the power of journalists is strong, provided the press is free.

Jeffrey Wigand: I can't seem to find the criteria to decide. It's too big a decision to make without being resolved in my own mind.
Lowell Bergman: Maybe things have changed.
Jeffrey Wigand: What's changed?
Lowell Bergman: You mean since this morning?
Jeffrey Wigand: No, I mean since whenever.

Mike Wallace: Am I missing something?
John Harris: What do you mean, Mike?
Mike Wallace: I mean, he's got a corporate secrecy agreement - give me a break! I mean, this is a public health issue! Like an unsafe airframe on a passenger jet or some company dumping cyanide into the East River, issues like that! He can talk, we can air it! They've got no right to hide behind a "corporate agreement"! Pass the milk.
