CRITICS OF "The Insider"

Decent Films Guide

A sobering examination of corruption, courage, cowardice, and the sometimes catastrophic costs of telling the truth.

October 29, 2008

Resource

Time Out

The movie reveals Michael Mann's unparalleled ability to fashion taut suspense from unpromising material.

February 09, 2006

Resource

Common Sense Media

Fascinating whistleblower story for older teens.

December 28, 2010

Washington Post

Mann, who mastered style in his TV series Miami Vice and previous films like Heat, adds substance to the formula with the intensely dramatic, fiercely principled Insider.

March 21, 2001

Resource

Antagony & Ecstasy

Not a single shot could be improved in either lighting or framing; nor is there even a single cut that could be moved by so much as a frame without damaging the exactitude of its placement.

June 24, 2009

Resource

TheMovieReport.com

A supremely suspenseful and riveting dramatic tour-de-force.

November 29, 2009

Resource

eFilmCritic.com

It has a buzz of excitement and complexity -- the sense that we're seeing the actual back-room decisions that affect lives.

September 24, 2007

Resource

Dark Horizons

Despite having no action scenes, a 2.5 hour running time, and based around the tired subject of tobacco, The Insider manages to be one of -- if not the best thriller of the year.

January 15, 2008

Rolling Stone

Mann turns a moral issue into riveting suspense.

May 08, 2001

New York Observer

What I didn't expect was an intelligently absorbing entertainment that ran for two hours and 40 minutes, during which I didn't once look at my watch -- just about the highest praise I can bestow upon a film these days.

April 27, 2007

Resource

Globe and Mail

Pumped up with sharp editing, vivid performances and a damning true story to tell, it's a morality tale with a hard contemporary punch.

April 25, 2003

New York Magazine/Vulture

It's a good thing Wigand isn't a conventional, come-to-the-rescue hero in The Insider, because, although Michael Mann tries for a victory dance, there's ultimately little cause for cheer.
