My most-watched film

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2005)

Pacing of this movie is incredible. A lovable young Dustin Hoffman, and an adorable Redford (the "original" Brad Pitt for you young-uns), mixed with a whodunit detective story is just great to watch. Like reading a mystery novel. I have watched this movie so many times I'm surprised it's not worn out my player. The tenacity of Woodward & Bernstein is inspiring, and a testament to the good old days when you could just show up at someone's doorstep and visit (or, interrogate ;) The lack of any technology to assist these guys in their search makes it all the more admirable; they had to convince a librarian and sweet-talk a former lover for key investigative leads. No internet here, and no voice mail either. I can't say I love what Bob Woodward has turned into, but I respect what he did in those days.
