Leave it to Michael Mann to make a two-and-a-half hour actionless film that remains as riveting as any summer blockbuster. Everyone in the film gets a moment to shine (Bruce McGill's verbal throatpunch in the courtroom is amazing), and that combined with career-best work from Crowe, Pacino, and Mann, and you're left with a fiery indictment not only of corporate America, but of the media that allows them to go unchecked. Devastating, beautiful, and flawless.

Great story, great performances and great directing. It's just under 3 hours and is an actionless subject but Mann tells it in a way that is engaging and very tense. Bruce McGill is amazing in the court room scene.

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.

Marvelous cast. It Illustrates what happens when someone blows the whistle on the misconduct and greed of a huge corporation. A tense believable story with exceptional acting. It shows the kind of collateral damage that occurred during his seemingly futile attempt to expose a corporate behemoth, and the risks involved when revealing corporate secrets to the world. A tense and engaging drama.

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.

Mann very well may be at the top of his culmination and he adds on to his esteemed reputation with this extraordinary film. Russel Crowe is at his pinnacle here along with the rest of the popularly and wisely selected cast. It doesn't contain any junctures of violence or vehemence at all, but somehow it leaves an insecure feeling beneath your skin. Great.

'The Insider' must have been amazing for its time, I'm afraid it's not really timeless, unless you include its topic of corporate moguls unapologetically distorting the truth. Docudramas also falter as they're embellished for dramatic effect. Still, I'd feel bad if I didn't mention the sheer quality of this film: smart, engaging, with uniformly excellent performances (especially Crowe). People who get bored by this must have the attention span of a goldfish.

A sort of subdued Michael Mann presents a really nice piece of journalistic true-life suspense. It runs really long and it feels like some scenes are just repeats of themselves but it's still pretty amazingly well crafted and acted. Plummer is great as Mike Wallace and there are a ton of familiar faces turning in solid work.

Michael Mann's brilliance with The Insider is creating an absolutely intense thriller that is completely composed of white collar crime and devoid of any physical action scenes. That is not to say there is no action in this movie. Instead of tenacious gunfights you have political maneuverings and careful social navigation. Pacino and Crowe are both in top form and the rest of the cast are equally good. There is literally nothing about this movie that isn't enthralling.

This is a good-ass movie in which Al Pacino is slightly more justified than usual in yelling. Christopher Plummer is the most prolific older person this side of Stan Lee. You can tell this movie was made pre-9/11 when Al Pacino gets a box from "Anonymous" covered in black tape and goes "well huh let's have a looksee at what's in here!"

disagree with sellis re: crowe, if only because a degree of awkwardness comes with the territory of being a nerdy whistleblower with your family on one shoulder and your conscience on the other. thing does kind of feel like mann (and pacino) heroically straining against the inherently dry procedural quality of the material though, and perhaps the celluloid as well; it can't help but feel watered down and redundant in light of mann's liberating transition into digital.

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.

An intelligent and intense corporate thriller that truly captures the traumatic experiences of a whistleblower in the tobacco industry. It's well written with a penetrating dialogue that centers around two very different personalities, Bergman and Wigand who both fights for what they believe in, no matter the cost. The acting is superb, like the court scene with McGill, Pacinos confrontation with CBS news or the interview scene where they again uses the soundtrack effectively.

A criminally underrated film, The Insider is mesmerizing thanks equally to Mann's direction and to some great performances by Pacino and Crowe. Don't be fooled by the summary with its references to confidentiality agreements and research biologists. This is not a dry and tedious legal drama. This is an excellent thriller, even better than "Collateral" which, while certainly more entertaining, also feels more contrived. Even at nearly three hours, it never overstays its welcome.

Another very strong effort from Mann. His ability to build tension and suspense is on display here just as much as it is in Heat and Collateral, but in this film he doesn't use violence or action sequences to achieve it. (Which isn't to say that all of the tension in those films is a result of the violence and action but a large portion of it is.) The script is very good, certainly the best Eric Roth has ever had a hand in, and the leads are great. Probably my favorite Crowe performance to date.

This is Michael Mann in top form. The film is his follow-up to "Heat", and in many ways it's a companion piece. It's about two men who's life circumstances are irrevocably tied together as they mirror each other. In this film, both men must face the importance of telling the truth in face the great adversity. Both actors turn in powerful performances, and, somewhat surprisingly, Crowe is the more impressive of the two.

It's thoroughly well shot, and Pacino has some entertaining rants, but this subject matter hasn't dated well for me since this was released. But the thing I struggled with the most is Russell Crowe's performance - I don't buy him as introverted nor paranoid. Not for a single moment does his performance feel natural or lived-in, and it is the performance this movie relies on most.

About as good as I was expecting. The opening seems completely off and unrelated to the rest of the film, but otherwise this is a procedural, focused, and finely acted film about a whistleblower going against a large scummy company, with Crowe, Pacino, and Plummer really appropriately filling in their roles. It doesn't feel like it could do with any edits, though it can be slightly too reiterative at times.

One of Michael Mann's strongest, an invigorating study of honor and duty, a sleek procedural pitting a couple of good guys against a bureaucracy of real-life bad guys, watching as they sacrifice their personal lives out of a desire to preserve the greater good. The immediacy of Mann's style makes this immediately gripping, mining excitement out of phone calls and board meetings.

The acting here is fantastic; this could very well be Crowe's best work to date. The only problem is that the story moves along at a snail's pace, and given the subject matter and the tone of a suspense thriller, that's ultimately an issue. Reminds me of what is wrong with Traffic in a way. It's a really well made movie in nearly every objective sense, but it just doesn't seem to cut it as entertainment. It needs a better blend of the two. I recommend seeing it, though.

Great lead performances and direction, but much longer than it needed to be, and the score feels a bit out of place at times. I was slightly disappointed with where it ended, as I was really getting into it at the time. But I suppose there’s no way to really portray the events following the last scene without jumping in time. It’s a film worth seeing at least once.

I just can't get over how mediocre this felt. Crowe was great. Pacino was great. Mann's direction was fine. But the execution in the film's plot was very poorly done.

The first half, featuring Russell Crowe's career high water mark performance, is riveting; the second, when focus shifts to miscast Al Pacino, less so. But mostly very good, with the superb Christopher Plummer winning man of the match.

Awesome, Crowe proves he can act drama, while the movie gives a shocking inditement on the tobacco industry.

Overly heavy drama that is not supported by the narrative: you cannot make a film exciting with only music, dark shots, appeals to children, or the Bold-And-The-Beautiful close-ups. Then there's logical errors like the press leaving Wigand's phone alone, his wife being left alone after moving out, women sleeping with full lipstick on, ... The 2.5 hours is too long.
