Title: Al Pacino and Michael Mann strike back!
Review: The team from "Heat" (1995) strike back with an extraordinary piece that tackles on the issues of tobacco and the power of media. Important decisions are made, sometimes not too ethically, putting the whole issue of media objectivity and transparency in the spotlight.As for Mann, his shots, sometimes stressing due to their closeness and speed, sometimes soothing due to their slow motion, deliver the message loud and clear.Pacino's acting brings no new surprises: he's awesome once again! You'll recall in particular, when you see it, the scene where he delivers his lines to 60 Minutes's anchor, Mike Wallace, Don Hewitt (CBS Senior Exec. Producer) and CBS News president. He'll move you with his force and the passion he puts to accomplish his mission in the movie (which I don't want to spoil).Simply put: one of 1999's best movies.
