Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2006)

I love this movie because of the terrific acting. Everyone is convincing. The down-to-earth style of the performances contrasts very well with the gravity and national import of the story. It sends a message that the average person of the United States is decent, law-abiding and loves their country.Hoffman especially presents his character with such genuine detail and humanity that you are taken right into the story. What must it have felt like to dig for facts with people that were afraid of powerful superiors? Hoffman and Redford show us. Their authenticity makes a political thriller into a moving account of decent people trying to correct aberrant powerholders.
