Joffrey Wigan (Russell Crowe) has just been fired from Big Tobacco, and his life seems to have hit rock bottom in an instant. Bergman receives a report that the cigarettes made by tobacco companies are harmful to human body, and finds Wigan to translate. However, from this time on, Wigan felt that someone was following and monitoring him and brought great threats to his family. Tobacco companies reminded Wigan of the non-disclosure agreement he signed with himself that he would not disclose any research on cigarette manufacturing to the public. Wigan doesn't want to lose the protection of his family's life such as medical insurance, but he is being tortured by his conscience.

    Russell Crowe, whether in Gladiator or L.A. Confidential performance, or Beautiful Mind... His eyes are more heartwarming than Al Pacino.

    The movie I've always wanted to watch but never had the chance to watch, I finally watched it today. Although it feels deliberate at times, I like it a lot overall!

The Insider quotes

  • Jeffrey Wigand: Up to you, Jeffrey! That's the power you have, Jeffrey! Vital inside information the American public need to know! Lowell Bergman, the hotshot who never met a source he couldn't turn around!

  • Lowell Bergman: You go public, and 30 million people hear what you gotta say, nothing - I mean nothing - will ever be the same again. You believe that?

    Jeffrey Wigand: No.

    Lowell Bergman: You should. Because when you're done, the judgement is gonna go down in the court of public opinion, my friend. And that's... the power you have.

    Jeffrey Wigand: You believe that?

    Lowell Bergman: I believe that? Yes, I believe that.

    Jeffrey Wigand: You believe that because you get information out to people, something happens?

    Lowell Bergman: Yes.

    Jeffrey Wigand: Maybe that's what you've been telling yourself all these years to justify having a good job. Having status. Maybe for the audience, its just voyeurism, something to do on a Sunday night. And maybe it won't change a fucking thing. And people like myself, and my family are left hung out to dry, used up, broke, alone.

    Lowell Bergman: Are you talking to me, or did somebody else just walk in here? I never forced any of that...

    Jeffrey Wigand: I don't really understand, exactly...

    Lowell Bergman: Don't evade a choice you gotta make by questioning my reputation or 60 Minutes with this cheap skepticism.

    Jeffrey Wigand: I have to put my family's welfare on the line here, my friend, and what are you putting up? You're putting up words.

    Lowell Bergman: "Words." While you've been dicking around some fucking company golf tournaments, I've been out in the world, giving my word... and backing it up with action. Now, are you gonna go and do this thing, or not?

    Jeffrey Wigand: I said I'd call the kids before they went to bed.
