You don’t need to do much to sell most of Michael Mann‘s movies. In Heat, he pits a crew of skilled bank robbers against an obsessed, equally formidable police detective.
In Collateral, an unassuming cab driver ends up the hostage of a hit man with a list of people he needs to kill in one night. These films sell themselves. They are based around obviously exciting concepts, directed with reliably eye-catching style, and — more often than not — feature recognizable movie stars. Mann has, in other words, spent most of his career making pretty widely appealing movies.
Related A drama drenched in paranoia The first half of The Insider is a paranoia-soaked drama in which the increasing obligation that its whistleblower protagonist feels to share the troubling truths he knows about the tobacco industry with the world is met with death threats, suffocating non-disclosure agreements, late-night break-ins, courtroom shakedowns, and troublingly cold visits from the FBI.
His recording of his 60 Minutes interview with the program’s longtime, revered anchor, Mike Wallace , marks the moment when The Insider leaves its first, Russell Crowe-led half behind and enters its Al Pacino-dominated second. The film becomes not just a thriller about the difficulties of telling the truth but also sharing it when Lowell’s exuberance over Wigand’s interview is quickly killed by his CBS higher-ups, who decide to push the airing of the full segment.
