I love THE INSIDER, but its not underrated. Hell, it scored many Oscar nods for Mann and Russell Crowe back in 1999. Maybe it could have won them, but its not underrated.
My opinion of why The Insider is underrated:
It took something that aired on the television show "60 Minutes" and made into a 2 hour movie. Let's face it - a story about tobacco doesn't sound all that interesting until you see this film.
The other reason is that when most people mention either Al Pacino or Russell Crowe, this movie is NOT what comes to mind. Most associate Pacino with the Godfather and Crowe with Gladiator.
