All the President's Men is a compelling film that tells the tale of the two reports who were able to connect the Watergate break in with the White House. It is incredibly interesting story to follow, each interview and each conversation is made compelling by the actors and the spot on writing. It simply an interesting story to follow. The only part of the film that I think is dated is the ending which is insanely abrupt. Now this was purposeful because at the time it stopped where everyone pretty much knew the rest of the story, and I am sure it worked perfectly than, but today it seems lacking. |

The detailed way in which this film unfolds is genius. It's not too heavy on the politics and manages to pull some serious thrills out of a well-known political scandal. Perfect performances by the leads. |

Two of the greatest actors of their time come to life in this great movie of the two reporters who shock the nation. At times it is slow, but its biggest flaw is the confusion it creates. Who said what...? But, see it for history's sake. |

All The President's Men review |
|
One of the best factual conspiracy press related films regarding a scandal related to the Watergate scandal. Engaging from start to finish because of it's method of presenting the story, it's politics and ability of the press to present the truth. A fairly new reporter Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and seasoned reporter Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) were assigned by their superior Ben Bradlee (Jason Robards) to cover and gather more information about the connection of the burglars to E. Howard Hunt, a former employee of the CIA, and President Richard Nixon's Special Counsel Charles Colson. Illegal fund raising were tackled including several personel involved in the Whitehouse. One of the best lines: Woodward - "I just don't get it; a CREEP secretary being scared, that's one thing. B... |

The downfall of Nixon and his cronies |
|
All the President's Men is great illustration of how investigative journalism works. Its two leads, Robert Redford (Bob Woodward) and Dustin Hoffman (Carl Bernstein) slowly unravel the paper trail of abuses occurring under the Nixon Administration. The great lengths that the administration goes to to cover up the initial burglary and then all of its fallout is astonishing. This film does a great job in showing how many people knew of the administrations various abuses, but declined to speak out because of the possibility of reprisals. In the end, the Watergate scandal was and is still one of the most sickening abuses of power ever committed by the Office of the President of the United States and the film is very effective in showing this.
The acting in the film is very good. Red... |

"All The President's Men" by Yojimbo |
|
Based on the investigation by two Washington Post reporters that uncovered the Watergate scandal and toppled Richard Nixon's presidency, All The President's Men is an insight into the events surrounding probably THE most important event concerning modern American democracy. Redford and Hoffman make an extremely likeable pairing and it's really interesting to see the nuts and bolts of the puzzle falling into place to reveal the larger picture. Because it's the true life story of the reporting process, the film is basically just a series of interviews and phone conversations and so can seem a little dry, especially considering its 2+ hour length but anyone interested in politics will be fascinated. Unfortunately, given the choice between a story involving the fundamental subversion of democ... |
