Title: An extraordinary film
Review: I loved "American Beauty", but "The Insider" was right up there with it in all of its palpably affecting state. I swallowed every scene like it was water, twitched at every misfortune that fell upon its characters. Both Pacino and Crowe are extraordinarily convincing and compelling, and for us to sit there and hear their their frantic attempts to resolve their problem is like sitting in cold water, or boiling water. Powerful and terribly compelling, "The Insider" is one of the top films of the year. It's way up there.
