The Insider

Where to begin with this?

There's a guy who used to work for a tobacco company, and he quit when the execs wanted him to come up with a stronger nicotene distilling process. He refused and quit. Then, he went to Sixty Minutes, and gave his story, saying that the execs of the Tobacco company knew full well that nicotene is addictive, and that tobacco is a delivery system for the nicotene, and that the execs were lying in thier supreme court deposition.

The Execs dont' like that, and begin to screw around with his life, and with the life of Sixty Minutes.

The executive producer fights to air the show, but then NBC says no, and that's final.

They get to air an extremely cut version of the interview, and then move on. Mike Wallace is displeased, and raises cain with the company.

He gets his way, and airs the entire thing.

Forty five minutes of action crammed into two and half hours.

It was a good movie, with a solid plot, and good acting. It was just a tad slow. I give it Four Field mice.

And, as always, Ebert can have the Balcony, the Sneak Previews guys can have the Aisle seats. I want the exact middle!
