I could watch this political conspiracy thriller every day.

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2015)

All The President's Men (1976)
One of my top five films.
If you're a fan of political conspiracy films in particular, this is how it's done. But of course if you're not, I give you my usual advice: FORGET ABOUT GENRE and watch it anyway - let yourself get sucked in to this excellent film. Direction, cinematography, editing, not to mention superb performances by every single cast member from top to bottom...
Contains one of my very favourite moments in cinema: the haunted voice of a man who knows he's been rumbled saying "My God...", and you know our heroes are onto something big!
It's a wonderful time capsule, too - these days the idea of a political party bugging its opponents isn't in the slightest bit outlandish. Back then it was horrifying. Plus, the legwork that Woodward and Bernstein have to do to get their story - no internet searches back then!
My only criticism is that it ends far too abruptly. I would have loved it to have gone on for another hour or so to finish things off properly.
Verdict: A truly masterful representation of a truly earth-shattering story.
