The Insider Ratings & Reviews
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
Superbly shot and edited and boasting impeccable recreations of the 60 Minutes broadcast in which Wigand went public, The Insider matches Heat's intensity while raising the stakes.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Powerfully and elegantly, The Insider reveals a chilling reality: how hard it is to tell a simple truth when big business doesn't want it told.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
... the movie goes on a nail biting tear...
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Fascinating whistleblower story for older teens.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
A sobering examination of corruption, courage, cowardice, and the sometimes catastrophic costs of telling the truth.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
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.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
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.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Mann turns a moral issue into riveting suspense.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
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.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
The Insider is a beautifully shot, well-acted.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
An admirable picture, written with real conviction and directed and acted with unusual intelligence and intensity.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
When Crowe gets to command the screen, The Insider comes to roiled life.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd just sat through an awfully long, awfully big movie that hinges, more or less, on something not happening.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
The Insider has the customary flair associated with Mann and lenser Dante Spinotti.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
The right balance of style and story.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Propulsive and efficient.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Genuinely moving.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Crowe finds every nuance, every nook and cranny of Wigand's anger and isolation, his self-righteousness and his self-sacrifice. It's an astonishing, Oscar-worthy performance.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Exceptional.
Houston Chronicle
Louis B. Parks
A solid, thought-provoking and exciting film.
