Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2002)

Based on R2 DVD 133 min.
This movie is a pretty straight retelling (from the Washington Posts pov) of the events leading up to Nixons' resignation. The producers were under legal and political pressure at the time so the movie plays it pretty safe, the story is still gripping. The collusion of the intelligence agencies should remain a concern for all Americans.
Some interesting nuggets covered in the extra features: Nixon was reelected to a second term (after the Watergate break-in) with massive public approval, in 1970 Nixon greatly expanded the budget and scope of the intelligence agencies.
7/10 well worth watching - extra point awarded for historical interest.
