Caryn James New York Times The Man Inside is meant to be a journalistic thriller in the mold of All the President's Men. Instead, it unwittingly reflects the idea that even the most daring reporter is just a dull guy who goes out to his job every day. Aug 30, 2004 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Here is one of the most inexplicable exposes ever filmed, wrapped in a package that sometimes is intriguing, sometimes so howlingly overacted that all we can do is watch in disbelief. Rated: 2/4 •  Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
