A Great Thriller. Well shot, well acted and well written. One of Mann's bests.

More thrilling than a million thrillers with big explosions and lots of bullets.

This is the kind of Mann I love. Great storytelling, great performances, and a willingness to let the film open up to the characters - perfect framing be damned.

Exercicio que demonstra até onde um homem inteligente se pode sentir encurralado, sem caminhos, sem certezas. Um dos poucos filmes onde genuínamente senti pena da personagem.

Comes second to only Mann's own HEAT.Swiftly carried on the shoulders of the two leads,Russell Crowe and Al Pacino with masterful execution from Michael Mann,simply put, one of the best thrillers of the last decade,without the bombs & booze!

The great strength of The Insider is that, unlike most of the 70s conspiracy thrillers to which it ultimately hints, we as the audience already know the horrible truth that lies at its core! Mann's genius is the way in which he wrenches tension and drama from the characters' discovery of big tobacco's invisible ascendancy and not ours

It's a movie about telling the truth, and what is the truth? this was the last time Hollywood made a movie that tackled the complexity of this question, and Michael Mann's most assured Direction is really helped by Eric Roth's amazing script. There a few problems, but they don't diminish what is to me a great piece of work.

Very good story, and good acting. The score was absolutely atrocious. I mean, I know Mann is deaf, but really?

Easily Russell Crowe's best work.

This movie is Mann's masterpiece. His amazing visual command and narrative economy are astonishing. He really pulls it all together to create a truly gripping masterwork,

Again i am quite disappointed with Mann. I always try and hope he will impress, because his stories are very good picked, but he never brings the maximum out of them. In the Insider the story was really strong, the manipulation of corporations, the money influence on decisions, activist mind and so on and so on...But again, film is way too long, story jumps from character to character too much, it doesn’t allow to evolve.
