All the President's Men

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2004 Filmcritic.com

Classic collaboration of Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, and Richard Nixon, in the most scandalous political tale of our time -- Nixon's destruction after Watergate. (Sorry, Michael Moore!) The leads put human faces on the cold visages of Woodward and Bernstein, and more than any other movie about journalism, All the President's Men tells it like it is. (Well, was anyway -- check out Shattered Glass for a more up-to-date scenario.)

The new special edition DVD includes commentary from Redford and a second disc of extras, all about the real Watergate scandal and, of course, the newly-revealed Deep Throat.
