People I Know

"People I Know" (2002) is a New York thriller you can watch online on iFILM, with Al Pacino as Eli Varman — a veteran press agent who keeps the city's secrets straight and calls in favours for a living.

One night unravels everything. A simple errand for a famous client drops Eli into a murder he can't explain, and suddenly the man who knows everyone finds his connections worth nothing. Pacino plays it quietly desperate: rumpled, chain-smoking, running on fumes. Kim Basinger, Tea Leoni and Ryan O'Neal fill out a cast that matches the film's tired-Manhattan register. Directed by Daniel Algrant, shot on location in the months before September 11, 2001. Stream "People I Know" online on iFILM.
