Music reviews of InsiderMusic Review: Moody, atmospheric music that complements a great film
I've always liked Michael Mann's films, and I find "The Insider" (1999) to be one of his best. Where many of Mann's prior films -- "Thief" (1981), "The Keep" (1983), "Manhunter" (1986), "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992) -- fit into readily identifiable genres such as the police procedural, the horror film, or the historical epic, and depended on action and violence to advance their plots, "The Insider" represented a departure. In Mann's story of Jeffrey Wigand (played by Russell Crowe), the tobacco-industry scientist who longed to tell the truth about what he had witnessed inside the industry, and Lowell Bergman (played by Al Pacino), the "60 Minutes" producer who encouraged Wigand to talk, Mann had a great story filled with human interest and drama; but this time, there were no jewel heists, supernatural forces, serial killers, or colonial wars to advance the plot. Menace had to be suggested indirectly, subtly, in order to convey the strain that both Wigand and Bergman face throughout the film as it comes to seem as though their story will never be allowed to be told; and the soundtrack for "The Insider" did much to create that air of menace. This soundtrack contains a number of highlights -- I like the staccato guitar work on Gustavo Santaolalia's "Iguazu," and the manner in which Massive Attack's "Safe From Harm," heard only in an instrumental version at the film's conclusion, is presented here in both vocal and instrumental versions. Most moving of all is Lisa Gerrard and Pieter Bourke's "Sacrifice," an austerely beautiful piece that complements one of the most important moments in the film -- when, against all odds, Bergman's presentation of Wigand's story finally appears on "60 Minutes." A powerful and resonant soundtrack, recommended for fans of "The Insider" or of Michael Mann's work generally.
