One of the Best Seventies Detective Movies

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2004)

This one of the best detective movies I've ever seen. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman have great chemistry and give us two of the their most memorable performances. The movie is a very believable portrayal not just of the Watergate Scandal but of newspaper culture in general. For me, one of the most amazing things in this movie was the way that they filmed the city of Washington D.C. You really get a sense of what journalistic life must have been like without cell phones! For aspiring journalists, this movie is a must-see. Another great seventies detective movie along these lines is The French Connection starring Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider. Both movies feature very intense and nitty-gritty cinematic styles that have never been matched.
