Balls-out 60 Minutes (1968) Producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) sniffs a story when a former research biologist for Brown & Williamson, Jeff Wigand (Russell Crowe), won't talk to him. When the company leans hard on Wigand to honor a confidentiality agreement, he gets his back up. Trusting Bergman, and despite a crumbling marriage, he goes on camera for a Mike Wallace (Christopher Plummer) interview and risks arrest for contempt of court. Westinghouse is negotiating to buy CBS, so CBS attorneys advise CBS News to shelve the interview and avoid a lawsuit. 60 Minutes (1968) and CBS News bosses cave, Wigand is hung out to dry, Bergman is compromised, and the CEOs of Big Tobacco may get away with perjury. Will the truth come out?
Leave your thoughts about The Insider.
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatt EasterbrookWith masterful performances, especially by Pacino and Plummer, and a script with some backbone and integrity to boot, it's definitely one to check out if you can. |
| Jeff Huston's Believe MeJeffrey HustonThe Insider is a solid artistic achievement in every regard. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaA supremely suspenseful and riveting dramatic tour-de-force. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonNot a single shot could be improved in either lighting or framing; nor is there even a single cut that could be moved by so much as a frame without damaging the exactitude of its placement. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyLeonard SchwarzCredit co-author and director Michael Mann for infusing with wit a film that easily could have been unbearably pretentious, and credit Al Pacino, who plays producer Bergman, for doing the same for his character. |
| NetflixJames RocchiBig tobacco, big media, big drama in director Michael Mann's masterpiece. |
| Cincinnati EnquirerMargaret A. McGurkWho would guess that a story like this -- set mostly in courtrooms, hotel rooms, newsrooms and cars -- could be turned into a suspenseful, heart-pounding thriller? |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffThe most compelling big-screen diagnosis of investigative journalism since All the President's Men. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsRussell Crowe and Al Pacino both rise to the peak of their talents in this gripping yarn based on fact, a story that touches on some of the more essential aspects of a free press and a well informed society. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughRussell Crowe gives his most nuanced performance to date. His Wigand twitches and fumes beneath a shield of red-faced corpulence, and a lot of his turmoil is self-imposed. |
