historical drama at its finest..

Rating: Null/10 (21 October 2011)

when a reporter covering what he thinks to be a small time break in at democratic headquarters, realizes that there is cia and federal govt involvement, he prods deeper and with his partner uncover a cover up that leads all the way to the oval office. Based on the bestselling book, All the Presidents Men, moves with such a quick and exciting pace, it seems like good fiction. That it is based on truth makes the movie that much more watchable. Redford and Hoffman ARE Woodward and Bernstein. The two have such great chemistry together as does the rest of the cast. Robards does a great job as publisher Ben Bradlee who lets the young reporters run with the story, seeing where it will go and advising the youngsters with words of wisdom. Overall, a very well done version of the events of watergate and the reporters who broke the story
