Unfortunately this could not happen nowadays.

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2015)

This is why this movie is a rare gem: At that time, all the system worked and the President had no other choice but to resign.
This is remarkably portrayed by the script and all the staff: Alan J.Pakula who was an admirable director, Redford, Hoffman...all the supporting cast was very accurate. Hal Holbrook deserves special mention in his "Deep Throat" rol.
the plot seems taken from a spy movie but it was real.
Can you imagine nowadays an investigation which concludes with the current President resignation...? i don't think so. The judiciary and the president were not so connected (bought) as they are now. Today's democracy is a myth. This movie is a prefect example of how an impeachment should work. Nowadays not even reach that: a little reprimand and that would be all...
The film was made in the most similar way about how actually the events occurred, and keeps you in a sort of suspense which goes progressively increasing.
9/10
