I was satisfied but not seduced.

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2001)

Entertaining and nearly mind blowing political thriller (based on the true story novel by the actual Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein) about the two reporters (Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in memorable performances) who both unveil the shocking and unbelievable truth behind the foiled break-in at Watergate (also known as the headquarters of the Democratic Party). And that would only lead to the infamous scandal, followed by the resignation of President Nixon. The late Jason Robards, who won a Best Supporting Oscar for his interesting and funny portrayal of Ben Bradlee, the editor of the Washington Post. Hal Hoolbrook deserves some credit for his performance as "Deep Throat", the mysterious informant who tells Woodward (Redford) in the parking garage - "Just follow the money."
Alan Pakula directed the film and makes the film's most tense moments perfect and William Goldman also won an Oscar for his story.
I have to admit that I was satisfied but not seduced although I like history.
