since I've stopped to going to theaters unless it's something I really want, I'd wanna make up for the movies I missed using the Netflix.
But for some reason, this movie got my attention so I borrowed it without knowing what this movie is really about.
It turns out my instincts worked great on this. This was a great movie, very entertaining.
Of course, when both Al Pacino and Russell Crowe are in it, it can hardly go bad.
Both of them are superb actors, despite of Crowe's murmuring at times.
Based on the true story where Jeff Wigand had to reveal addiction secrets of tobacco industry, it was very good movie.
Well written, well edited, music appropriate (but not fascinating)... They didn't make me lose focus from the actors' acting and it worked.
The movie was very grasping. I also have other movies of very good ratings (like Star Trek, for example), but I don't regret that I watched this movie first. It was very entertaining but the movie quality was extremely high with those actors in it. I am probably a little bit biased because Bergman's house was in Berkeley Hills, 10-15 minutes from me.
Again, a great thriller.
4.5/5
