Do you trust Washington?

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2007)

All The President's Men is probably in more top 10 lists than any movie ever made and deservedly so. Due to the subject matter (the Watergate break-in and cover-up) there's little in the way of suspense, but it's not needed. Seeing exactly how Woodward and Bernstein went about putting their story together is movie making at its finest. The story, top notch casting, editing and directing give this an easy 10 out of 10.
Why so many people still deny the facts brought out in this film is beyond me. Nixon certainly wasn't the only president to lie and cheat his way through the oval office, but he did exactly that and managed to get caught.
You may never trust those in Washington ever again after viewing All The President's Men. It shows how those in power abuse that power, no matter what the consequences are or who gets hurt in the process.
