Relive every unbelievable twist and turn like never before on Blu-ray.
Review: I remember all the hype over this extremely oscar nominated film back around the turn of the millenium! In fact, I was going to see it, because I love Russell Crowe, but I just never got around to it. Now, the film is coming to blu-ray for the first time and I finally get the opportunity to check it out..and in high-def no less. This film is a fantastic dramatic feature about a whislteblower in the tobacco industry..an industry that since this film came out has been exposed and exposed again in the mainstream, as smoking declines and regulations on public smoking have tightened. The movie has an amazing cast and its very well acted. I found it to be suspenseful and full of great plot. Very enjoyable film indeed, and I recommend it to all. The movie looks great in high-definition!
