Add comment April 14th, 2008
The Insider was directed by the award winning director Michael Mann and released on 28 October 1999. The movie was filmed several places but most importantly in Alabama. The movie won 21 awards and was nominated for 7 Oscars and got another 31 nominations. The was nominated Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role Russell Crowe, Best Cinematography Dante Spinotti, best Director Michael Mann, Best Editing William Goldenberg, Paul Rubell and David Rosenbloom. These are just some of the 7 Oscar nominations and the 21 award wins the film got. The cast in this movie is excellent we have Al Pacino in the main role, Russell Crowe, Christopher Plummer, Diane Venora, Philip Baker Hall and many more Hollywood super actors. The film was a huge success and the director has only made quality films. The story and the actors are simply perfect.
The story is based on a true story about a CBS 60 Minutes-episode in 1994 on malpractices in the tobacco industry that was not aired because CBS parent company Westinghouse objected. Pacino plays the 60 Minutes Producer. Pacino really offers quality to this movie filmed in Alabama together with Russell Crowe, this is simply a movie you have to watch.
