how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 16 comments (14 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 8 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 8 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βThe beginning is slow because of the lack of exposition dump and thanks to that there were times during this film where I didn't understand what was happening and I only did after.β

βBut I feel that the movie is streched out and gets boring at times. At times nothing that important really happen. The movie should have been an hour less long and should have a faster pace in evolvement of what happens, then it might get much better.β

βWith it's dynamite performances, strafing wit and dramatic provocation, The Insider offers Mann at his best -- blood up, unsanitized and unbowed.β

βA marvelous ensemble cast and all the visceral impact and moment-to-moment tension of a fine thriller, together with the distinctive visual style of an art film.β

βExcellent acting, a stirring screenplay, and crisply intelligent directing make this fact-based movie a great human drama as well as a riveting and revealing look at crucially important social issues.β

Russell Crowe is a tobacco industry researcher named Jeffrey Wigand who accidentally revealed a addictive substance abuse in a famous tobacco company named Big Tobacco. He appeared in a CBS program β60 Minutesβ based on an invitation by its presenter, Mike Wallace. His fate changed drastically, he had no choice buβ

βI was drooling when I saw the first preview. the talent involved in this...aaaaahhhhhhh. You just know it's going to be good. And Crowe, who thinks he's the best actor who ever lived actually acted in this. Seeing him actually act is worth it. Many of us believed it was only a legend, but here it is, proof he does have talent somewhere beneath the brass.
