Increasingly, Looks Like A Masterpiece
It helps to have one of historys greatest scoops as your factual inspiration,
but journalism thrillers just dont get any better than All the Presidents Men.
Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford are perfectly matched as
(respectively) Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob
Woodward, whose investigation into the Watergate scandal set the stage
for President Richard Nixons eventual resignation. Their bestselling
exposé was brilliantly adapted by screenwriter William Goldman, and
director Alan Pakula crafted the film into one of the most intelligent and
involving of the 1970s paranoid thrillers. Featuring Jason Robards in his
Oscar-winning role as Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, All the

Presidents Men is the film against which all other journalism movies must
be measured. --Jeff Shannon
Personal Review: All the Presidents Men (Two-Disc Special
Edition) starring Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, Jack Warden,
Martin Balsam, Hal Holbrook
The more time passes, the more this looks and feels like a masterpiece.
It's the rare movie that gets the world of journalism right, and gets
Washington DC right. In short, it's a film unafraid to present the world as it
is, not as Hollywood would have us glamorize or sensationalize it. Beyond
that, though, it is an outstanding piece of movie craftsmanship. The plot is
propelled forward through a blizzard of associations, names, phone calls,
snippets of conversation, visual images -- which means, among other
things, the movie has the nerve to trust the intelligence of its audience. The
suspense is remarkable, the performances consistently outstanding. The
actors are just compulsively watchable -- pretty much all of them. What the
movie has to say about politics, and political corruption, and the sheer
volatility of dangerous information is all still burningly relevant today -- in
fact the perspective of time makes it more, not less, so. There's simply no
way a piece this smart and this ambitious could get made in Hollywood
today -- we've all been turned into dummies by the studio honchos and
their obsession with multi-platform revenue streams. This is the real deal.
