Terrific look at in-depth investigative journalism

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2006)

For people interested in an in-depth look at investigative journalism in movies; All the President's Men is the final word on the subject.
The film is blissfully free of over dramatizing the investigation that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon. In a cool fashion the film follows the reporters step by step as they uncovered the scandal and for once doesn't sugarcoat the lead characters as the mercilessly turned over every stone imaginable to progress in their investigations.
Robert Redford and especially Dustin Hoffman are credible as Woodward and Bernstein, Jason Robards is fantastic as their editor. The script, based on the reporters book, is overflowing with information but the entire proceedings are so well handled by Alan J. Pakula that the film isn't too hard to follow, but don't look away for too long or you'll definitely miss something.
