Review of The Post (2017) by Cinemacrush — 10 Feb 2018
Another revenue hungry Speilberg throwaway. The promo cover says it all. With HANKS & STREEP in mega large font at the very top, and the actual title of the film in very small font at the bottom.
"Look, two names we know an love!... oh, and it's called The Post". Pathetic tactic. Totally unoriginal, banal and just plain boring. The shame lies in the fact that the true story is an amazing one.
You've seen this film a million times over. It was called 'All the Presidents Men' the first time. Cookie cutter political big name bait at it's finest. I advise leaving this movie for the birds and watching 'All the Presidents Men', followed by a Pentagon Papers documentary of your choice.
There are many great ones. In ten years this film will be hardly remembered, regardless of hollow accolades.
