Al Pacino, Russell Crowe, and Christopher Plummer knock it out of the park with their performances.
Masterpiece with superb acting from Pacino and Crowe. Powerful story and brilliant cinematography and music, must see for Michael Mann fans
Mann’s direction here is superb with the lighting, score and cinematography. Crowe should be considered legendary!
This is all I want. Peak Mann Peak Crowe. Just a goddamn adult drama.
A commanding drama loaded with top class acting, the film delivers a gripping story without dumbing itself down to audiences
Dramatic character study? Action packed drama? All those things and more. Michael Mann directs a near perfect movie and great cast.
Our voices matter. This movie proves that as long as you believe in yourself, things can be set right
The acting, directing, and story stand out here. They are all great. But it was a little drawn out. Should have been a little shorter.
Extremely stylish and fun watch. Great across the board, just a well made movie
A tense, well-acted political thriller that is quite emotionally impactful though I feel it loses its focus in the third act.
