Editorial Reviews

Hollywood customarily takes its time to plumb history, waiting decades -- or even centuries -- to explore the real-life drama of, say, the Vietnam War. But in the case of All the President's Men, director Alan J. Pakula set a particularly high bar for himself, depicting a complex chapter of American political history only two years after the actual events had transpired. Based on the prize-winning book by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the story details the step-by-step investigation of the Watergate scandal that led to the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon. In preparing for their roles, Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman did formidable legwork researching the intrepid journalists, and their efforts paid off -- Redford conjuring to perfection Woodward's fastidious, almost irksome, penchant for exactitude; Hoffman painting Bernstein as a charming (if a bit reckless) go-getter with an eye for good copy and attractive women. And Jason Robards brings the right blend of grumpiness and grit to the role of Post editor Ben Bradlee. The story has a tragic inevitability -- from an absurdly bungled break-in at an office building to the systematic crumbling of a presidential administration -- which Pakula captures vividly in this edge-of-your-seat political thriller.

November 02, 2008: The wounds of the Nation's Watergate scandal had barely closed when the Politically savvy,Robert Redford,bought the rights to the definative book written by the 2 Men who took down the U.S. Government.Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein wrote the book and the biggest Box Office draws wanted in...
Robert Redford as Woodward and Dustin Hoffman as Bernstein.Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee all bring the Nation's headlines to the big screen.
The Film should be required viewing of all Reporters, as it plays out like a Documentary.Who knew that 2 Reporters following leads could be so tense and exciting.Especially ...since You know how it turns out !

September 14, 2008: It's a testament to the film's creative people [particularly director Alan Pakula, producer Robert Redford, and screenwriter William Goldman] that they stuck to the story and didn't make this some sort of paranoid, foaming-at-the-mouth political drama [if you want that, go rent Oliver Stone's ''Nixon'']. There's more than enough drama to go around in the story of Woodstein's reporting on the Watergate scandal, as it gradually evolved from a 'third-rate burglary' to the far-reaching campaign of personally destructive politics that toppled the Nixon administration. Only a writer as gifted as Goldman and a director as solid as Pakula could make the mundane bits of reporting -- like flipping through thousands of library slips -- seem as dramatic as the clandestine meetings between Woodward and Deep Throat. The performances are outstanding, especially Jason Robards' Oscar-winning turn as the Washington Post's Ben Bradlee. A definite modern classic, and a damn good film about how good journalism used to be.
