The truth will always prevail.

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2005)

Classic portrayal of two reporters working on a story that they firmly believe has impact on the present, the future and ultimately, history. They do not deviate from their goal of getting to the bottom line of what they adamantly believe is an important story. The book, "Blink" comes to mind in that they were both "thin slicing" what they felt in their guts and adamantly believed to be a story worth telling. Once you take the time to read the history of what led up to Nixon's resignation, it adds all the more veracity to the efforts of Woodward and Bernstein. One of the more interesting details, is how the relationship between Woodward and Felt developed over the years. It supports the premise that one never knows how a chance meeting will result in the development of a friendship that will last for many years to come. In police work, it was referred to as "inarticulable gut reaction". That "feeling", the "thin slicing" that something is afoot. Like a pair of junk yard dogs, Woodward and Bernstein stick to the trail until their suspicions are confirmed and the results, as the saying goes, is history. Makes the movie all the more incredible, when you keep reminding yourself that it is based on facts.
In summation, follow your beliefs and always "to thine own self be true" for the truth will set you free.
