Incredible

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2006)

I had already read the book by Woodward and Bernstein when I saw this movie for the first time, and I was hoping that the film would match up to the book. I wasn't disappointed. The movie is full of suspense, drama, and excitement. The continuous shot which shows Robert Redford (Woodward) on the phone talking to various people and messes up the names but stays in character is amazing. The naturalness of the dialogue (which apparently came from Redford and Dustin Hoffman memorizing each other's lines) makes you forget you're watching a movie. Jason Robards almost steals the show as Ben Bradlee. I understand why he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Overall, a fantastic movie, and if you liked Good Night and Good Luck, you'll like this.
