The Insider (1999) - The Insider (1999) Original Trailer [HD]

The most positive review

I was drooling when I saw the first preview. the talent involved in this...aaaaahhhhhhh.
You just know it's going to be good.
And Crowe, who thinks he's the best actor who ever lived actually acted in this. Seeing him actually act is worth it. Many of us believed it was only a legend, but here it is, proof he does have talent somewhere beneath the brass.
Pacino, Mann, Plummer, Gabon and you turn around and low and behold Gershon is doing a good job too.
It's like a dream cast with a B-Team that rises up to the challenge.
I'd give it a 10 if...wait, I can 10 of 10 just because it is a privilege to watch everyone in this film...who cares about the plot even? It could have been the worst story ever written and the cast and director would have saved it. It was like they were doing Richard III. that quality of awesome.
