Stoner J Really good newsroom drama, though the overbearing sound of typewriters, loud ones, is a mistakr Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Georgia L This film shows how hard it is to penetrate a coordinated cover up and how important our free press is to uncover and eventually lead to reining in government malfeasance. Today there is talk of autocracy as if new. Evidently the roots of illegal activities that are well organized and coordinated by government agencies have a long history and likely at still well entrenched. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Gareth v A masterclass in restrained filmmaking and one of the greatest films about journalism ever made. As relevant today as it was in 1976. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review Mike V The most devastating detective story of this century. All the President's Men is a 1976 American biographical political thriller film directed by Alan J. Pakula 🔦 It’s very good! 😀 I’d definitely recommend it 👍🏼 During the 1972 elections, two reporters' investigation sheds light on the controversial Watergate scandal that compels President Nixon to resign from his post. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Joseph B I lived through this period of American history. The fails because it mentions so many people but we are unable to follow who they are and what their jobs were and what happened to them. The teletype at the end of the film fails to explain any of this because it is nearly impossible to read as it speed across the screen. Some major players are not even mentioned such at John Ehrlichman: As Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs, he was a key figure in the cover-up and was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury. Another was John Dean III: As White House Counsel, Dean was a major figure in the cover-up and eventually became a key witness for the prosecution after cooperating with investigators. Poorly made and researched film. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/15/25 Full Review Monty J All the President’s Men plays like a hard-swinging set where every note is earned, never wasted. Alan J. Pakula takes us into the smoky newsroom of The Washington Post, where young reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) stumble onto what first seems a small-time burglary at the Watergate Hotel. As their reporting deepens, the harmony grows darker, the rhythm more insistent—each revelation layering new chords of conspiracy that climb all the way to the Oval Office. Jason Robards, as editor Ben Bradlee, holds the ensemble steady, the bassline that drives the tune forward. Pakula’s camera lingers like a soloist holding a note, giving space for the tension to breathe. The film becomes less about politics than about persistence, showing how two players, improvising against immense pressure, could change the score of history. In the grand jazz of American democracy, this is a defining chorus. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
