russell crowe show what great acting be and in his emotional and dynamic portrayal of the corporate tobacco executive cut loose for know too much and have a conscience . only one flaw appear in this movie and the casting of the excellent actor michael gambon a the villainous tobacco company chairman . he wasn not quite convince about have a southern accent and a glitch that be slightly distract to the otherwise intense scene he appear in . otherwise every part in this movie be play to perfection and especially by crowe and pacino . a very believable effort by christopher plummer a the venerable mike wallace and and all the other support role tell a story of truth and morality and and justice in a way that surpass the run of the mill hollywood flick . a great movie and one of the best and that would be great even if there be no truth to it .
