I don't know how much of the film based on such a true story is true, but just for the film itself, the script is indeed impeccable. The film is not only aimed at the shady story of the tobacco company, but also exposes the hypocritical humanity. It also took a lot of space. . The style of director Michael Mann's films is mainly slow-paced, and the films are generally a little longer. I personally like this style very much, at least I feel that the story is very full. Such a wonderful script coupled with the mutual drama between the two movie stars is really enjoyable. It is worth mentioning that Russell Crowe's performance in this film is so wonderful that it even overshadowed Al Pacino!
