Incredible, breathtaking

Rating: Null/10 (28 June 2001)

Quite possibly the largest political cover-up in U.S. history becomes quite possibly the best political thriller in history. The dead-on writing of William Goldman is flawless at developing characters out of action and action out of characters.
"All the President's Men" is a perfect allegory symbolizing the closing of the more pivotal times in the twentieth century. It clearly suggested that all was not right with America.
We know how it is all going to end, but somehow Pakula and Goldman find a way to keep us on the edge of out seats and smiling the whole way through.

I was extremely proud of myself after I was able to follow one of the most extensive plot-lines in film history, and I felt that I walked away from my VCR much more gratified and smarter than I was two hours earlier.

Definately recommedended to anyone studying screenwriting and/or filmmaking. Flawless structuring throughout.
