Movie Review: Gripping tale of men under pressure for doing what is right
Summary: 4 Stars
Gripping tale of two men laying everything on the line for what they believe in. Well-acted by the two leads Russell Crowe as a whistle-blowing former tobacco company executive Jeffrey Wigand, and Al Pacino as maverick "60 Minutes" producer Lowell Bergman, plus a superb performance by Christopher Plummer as Mike Wallace. Overwrought at times but Director Michael Mann successfully maintains a creepy, claustophobic atmosphere throughout, reflecting the pressure and scrutiny on Wigand. Excellent use of music and lighting as well. An usually critical look at big business for a mainstream American non-fiction film.Movie Review: A Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! Al Pacino (terrific and not overacting!) and Russell Crowe (devastating performance) in a "based on true story" about the tobacco industry, "60-Minutes," Mike Wallace (brilliantly played by Christopher Plummer and conspiracy to addict Americans.Movie Review: Great Movie!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was recommended to me by a quit smoking group. I highly recommend this to smokers/non-smokers alike. If I had known about this, I would have never started smoking. 4 ****!!!Movie Review: tobacco industry
Summary: 4 Stars
A great expose of the tobacco industry and their lies to get their product sold and you addicted to nicotine. It also shows the destructive power of bad corporations that don't care about the public good.Movie Review: Riveting movie about how Mike Wallace buckled over to CBS bigwigs and big tobacco
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone does a great job of acting. I forgot this was a movie as I watched it. I was outraged that the poor smuck that trusted 60 MINUTES to run his expose of the tobacco industry was abandoned by Mike Wallace and his gang and that he lost everything, his retirement income, his home and his wife and litle girls, while Wallace's big worry was how he would be remembered after he retired from 60 MINUTES.
