Snider 5/5 "A terrific piece of filmmaking by the always-reliable Michael Mann."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "The film comes on so strong, instead of comprehending what it's trying to say, we reel from it."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov "Big, sprawling and visually flashy."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A gut-wrenching portrait of two stubborn idealists who decide to stand their ground against those who want to silence them."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "Riveting, powerful, compelling."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "Mann has essentially revitalized and reinvigorated what had been a dead cinematic genre: the socially relevant docudrama."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 5/5 "Big tobacco, big media, big drama in director Michael Mann's masterpiece."   Netflix   James Rocchi "Highly compelling and entertaining."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "Runs too long and is not engrossing enough to warrant our attention for that lengthy amount of time."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo A- "does communicate a broad truth about media coverage and the conflicts it faces"   Old School Reviews   John A. Nesbit 8/10 "...a rare glimpse into the fall of a giant."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3.5/4 "Crowe realmente vive el personaje y la audiencia se identifica plenamente con el"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 3/4 "Al Pacino delivers his best work in some time as Bergman, a man of conviction ready to fight for what he believes in. Pacino has great intensity as always, but he doesn't go over the top."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 0 out of -4..+4 "It is too much an adaptation of a magazine article slowed to the pace of a film. It really verges on being tedious, at least at times."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 4/4 "A gripping drama, not to be missed."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9/10 "It's long, slow, and compelling."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/5 "Michael Mann very skillfully makes every shot and every note of the soundtrack help shape the story so that the viewer sees Bergman’s perspective."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 5/5 "A relevância da mensagem transmitida por Michael Mann é inquestionável: é mais fácil espicaçar a vida de um Presidente do que os segredos de uma grande corporação."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "It has a buzz of excitement and complexity -- the sense that we're seeing the actual back-room decisions that affect lives."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 10/10 "After watching Pacino in this film it makes me proud to say I'm a newsman too, and damn that feels good these days."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "A compelling, tautly depicted tale of corporate power and individual integrity. Director Mann may well have an Oscar contender here."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B+ "A sobering examination of corruption, courage, cowardice, and the sometimes catastrophic costs of telling the truth."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 10/10 "It's the Oscar-caliber performances that command attention, primarily the emotional relationship between Russell Crowe, as the conflicted Wigand, and Al Pacino, as the tenacious Bergman."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 10/10 "Not a single shot could be improved in either lighting or framing; nor is there even a single cut that could be moved by so much as a frame without damaging the exactitude of its placement."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 10/10 Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Jonathan F.
