Review of All the President's Men (1976) by Terry N — 24 Sep 2018
Redford and Hoffman are excellent in this real life take on the watergate scandal which resulted in the axing of President Richard Nixon. Adapted from a book by the chief perpetrators that brought down the presidency, Journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, this film is so good you'd think it was a documentary.
Stylishly shot by Alan J Pakula it has a documentarist vibe and feel (probably the filmstock) and the actors are all excellent- as they were back in the day. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman are really good as the two-investigative journalist's hell bent on finding the truth and everyone from Jason Robards and Hal Holbrook lend in finely tuned performances to give a lot of deft to the film.
If you like political thrillers, then All the President's Men is a must watch.(One of the best political films ever made).
