Movie: The Insider

Russel Crowe's best role that i've seen and always nice to see Al Pacino doing his thing with ferocity. The way this story was portrayed was interesting. Instead of focusing on the strength of the public on the issue of tobacco addiction, the writers chose to focus directly on a few major characters and forget about public opinion completely. From this perspective i expected it to lack a certain strength in numbers, but this movie wasn't lacking on emotion. For an issue that would seem aged and uninteresting today this story hit hard with me on an emotional level. I found myself hanging on every conflict overwhelmed with anticipation of the outcome. Superb film all around.

5/5
