The Insider (1999)

Utterly gripping. Crowe and Pacino are both great in this and are especially explosive whenever they share the screen together. One of Pacino's best performances of the 90s to be sure. I think Michael Mann is really undervalued for the way he works with actors, he truly brings out the best in them. Also, it literally ends with a slow-motion shot of Al Pacino popping the collar on his leather jacket, as if you needed a hint that this movie is from 1999.

It's hard to imagine a time when "big tobacco is actually bad" is such a bombshell, though the focus here is clearly not on the social implications of such a revelation, but rather two men being cornered by their lifelong ambition. Some really beautiful shots in here.

Institutions are controlled by governments that are funded by corporations. Lowell Bergman remarks "What did I win?" You cannot win against the overwhelming tentacles of corporate influence and greed.

This is up there with All the President's Men and JFK in terms of movies based on real life investigations. Just as Heat compared the drive of both cops & robbers, here Mann shows the intensity to show the world the truth that both whistleblowers & journalists have. And it helps when that intensity is performed by Pacino and Crowe. The writing is quotable, the photography claustrophobic, and the music creates a haunting chorus for the Shakespearean conflict. Highly recommended.

On the unavoidable rot that seeps into a free press when tainted by corporate influence, the failure of institutions and safeguards to protect vulnerable individuals, and the moral compromises necessary just to peaceably exist in a world straining against the suffocating boundaries of global capitalism. Boy, good thing we moved past all that.
