A prime example of a simple but effective film

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2013)

All the President's men is definitely a good film on it's own. It's not the conventional thriller , keep that in mind.
Obviously it may have not all the impact it had back in 70s, but still a pretty good, entertaining film and the best of it's press-thriller sub- genre(if that exists).
It's after all, a film that will interest those who wants to know how worked the process that did lead the then president Nixon to resign. Yeah, it's about the infamous Watergate scandal. I don't want to spoil the film, so you have to definitely check it out. Hoffman and Redford are superb in their roles and carried very well this film. It's also interesting to see how the press work. The art direction is also very good, and the script is itself flawless, free of plot holes. Jason Robards is nothing less than excellent interpreting Benjamin Crowninshield "Ben" Bradlee, the man who 'challenged the government'. The editing also plays a very good part in the film.
Definitely worth a watch. 7.7/10
