On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 49 out of 100, based on 28 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a generally positive review, praising Neeson while criticizing the script and writing, `` Mark Felt : The Man Who Brought Down the White House ( please get a new title ) does its job of presenting who Mark Felt was and what a burden it was for him personally to betray his beloved FBI. And if you want to know more about Felt ( or, maybe, you just like Liam Neeson ), then Mark Felt : The Man Who Brought Down the White House does its job. But, I 'd recommend anyone palette cleanse after by watching All the President 's Men. '' Additional footage and Diane Lane 's performance Apparently much of Diane Lane 's `` electric performance '' was cut due to running time constraints. At a press conference director Peter Landesman and Liam Neeson both championed Lane 's performance saying how devastated they all were ( especially Lane herself ) that so much of her performance was left on the cutting room floor. There were hints that these scenes may be included as `` deleted scenes '' or as an `` extended cut '' on the home video release of the film.
