Even as of today, I still cannot understand why Al Pacino has only won the Oscars once. Obviously, for his unbelievable talent, he should have won more and much more than that. He is forever an American treasure, one of the most beloved stars , and one of the greatest actors of all time.

This film "The Insider" uses a slow-building approach, which culminates in a stunning last 30 minutes. The several outbursts of the character Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) clearly show that Al Pacino has the best line delivery ever. Even Tom Hanks or Jimmy Stewart could not reach that level. Lowell Bergman, representing integrity, remains one of the most memorable characters in American cinema.
