Big Brother

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2002)

All the President's Men is a case in which the story is so compelling, that it is virtually impossible to make a poor movie. The project also wasn't hurt by Redford and Hoffman, who played the parts beautifully. I really enjoyed that this story was told solely from the perspective of Woodward and Bernstein, and the White House and its staff was completely unseen. This added the needed "mysterious" villain aspect of the story. It also made the enemy into a force, rather than reduce it to individual people. Quite a powerful force too.
If you feel the magnitude of what these two young journalists are going up against, you'll love this movie. Very intense. 9/10
