The title does this marvelous film an injustice. A man, trying to find medical and financial aid towards a work-related illness, finds only callousness and insensitivity from those agencies to whom he appeals. This is a totally-absorbing dive (with humor!) into a nightmare realm of frustration, bureaucracy and buck-passing that will entertain, scare, and ultimately awe you with the knockout punch within its final moments. Take the phone off the hook, cancel your appointments, and delve into "The Insurance Man". It's that kind of film.
I was surprised to see less than five votes on this site because, in the later 1980s, "The Insurance Man" was seen rather frequently on the "arts" channels. I hope it becomes widely-known again. Highly recommended for adults, and a rare '10' from me.
