“The Insider” is easily my top 5 of all time. It’s actually two movies in one: a perfunctory whistleblower procedural shifts gears into a high stakes corporate media thriller with Al Pacino and Christopher Plummer yelling about virtues of billion dollar journalism. Genuinely thrilling. “Michael Clayton” is an honorable mention, too. 5 stars.
The trailer rocks too (https://youtu.be/MGOb29aePyc?si=P4L39w6Tby4An3BG) I’m a trailer editor by trade and this was a tremendously difficult film to market. Mann discusses this in a now infamous interview with Charlie Rose, where Charlie does himself no favors attempting to defend CBS. Life imitates art!
Love the Yasmin comparison to Edie Falco, there's a specific kind of performance where the character's transformation feels both completely shocking and completely inevitable in hindsight, Marisa Abela pulls that off.

So good. A great genre that Industry is proudly part of.
