"The Insider"
This movie stars Al Pacino and Russell Crowe and was nominated for 7 oscars. It's a movie based on a true story with some ficticious material added in for dramatic effect. Russell Crowe stars as an ex leading scientist for a major tobacco company who gets fired for no apparent reason as his ex boss claims but he found something out and decides to speak up. Al Pacino stars as the 60 Minutes Producer trying to get the story and soon realizes what happens to people trying to speak up about big tobacco. Filled with drama some good thriller/action points and a great story overall, definitely deserved the Oscar bids it got.
Rocco Rating 8.5 out of 10
