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!

This is a pure American story, and the freedom and conscience of the press comes at a price. In the end, it all depends on luck.

Although the beginning was very dull, I fell asleep many times, and it took only four days to watch it, but the whole film is still very exciting, and I admire the people who do the news~

Lowell Bergman: And I don't like paranoid accusations! I'm a journalist. Think. Use your head. How do I operate as a journalist by screwing the people who could provide me with information before they provided me with it?
