Review of All the President's Men (1976) by Adrian B — 21 Dec 2010
The Watergate Scandal, causing many politicians to be charged with various obstructions ranging from conspiracy to fraud, has been beautifully realized in this 1976 movie. An absolutely fine piece filmmaking, with very good dialogue, excellent acting, and a very fast paced plot.
The film follows the process of uncovering various problems among the Nixon campaign from Woodward and Bernstein, while they interview various political workers all over the United States, to uncover the details of a bank robbery at the beginning the film, which sparked the whole scandal in the first place.
Redford and Hoffman pull off great performances, which were overlooked by the Academy Awards, as the infamous Woodward and Bernstein, respectively (the funny thing is in real life, both actors were older than who they were playing).
Robards, who won Best Supporting Actor, is superb, and the rest of the cast are all portrayed beautifully. Another great film from 1976 to accompany the explosive works of "Taxi Driver" and "Network.
