Michael Mann is on of the most talented director's in the industry and one of the most consistent in the quality of his films.
This film is an in depth portrayal of the life of Jeffery Wigand (Russel Crow) who is trying to expose the secrets of a large cigarette company and how he risked everything to make sure that the people knew the truth.
Al Pacino, Russel Crow, Christopher Plummer, and the rest of the credited cast all did superb jobs at portraying there character's and maintaining the attention of the audience through a film that is nearly three hours of only talk.
Michael Mann again used powerful cinematic devices and dramatic lighting to give the film a unique look and feel. Mann is one of the most brilliant film maker's there are and it shined through in this film.
The screen writing was superb, it had a subtle brilliance that allowed me to just get sucked into the film and make me forget that I'm just watching actors.
This is one of the best films that I have ever seen. It deserves its place on the IMDb top 250 list, if anything it should be higher up.
