Review of The Insider on Filmviews.net
Year1999 ReviewerChris Docker
Long, worthy movie about an ex-tobacco scientist who speaks out and risks losing everything. Based on a true story and memorably told without watering down. The problem facing someone who "goes public" over a medical-legal pothole is admirably brought to light. the film also manages to keep the viewer on the edge of his/her seat for nearly full three hours without once relying on a car chase or other standard scene - the excitement is all cerebral.
Rating: 8/10;
