Entertainment Reviews:
[The film] remains a spectacular filmic achievement -- a perfect suspense film...
Premiere
[A] benchmark for films about print journalism. The sheer density of information is daunting, but proceedings are firmly anchored by the performances...
Sight and Sound
All the President's Men is a quintessential American movie: It does a lot of things well and makes it all look simple. It works on several levels.

Rating: 5/5 --
Removed from its topical urgency, it remains a vigorously entertaining pursuit of accuracy and accountability. Revisited, it's clear how much inspiration David Fincher took for Zodiac to depict investigative reporting and workplace dynamics.

Rating: A --
The movie is a victory lap for American journalism -- the triumphant flip side to Network's self-loathing take on the media.

Product Description:
Covers the period from 1972-1974; Produced and released in 1976.
With ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, director Alan Pakula adapts the best-selling book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Pakula created a film that takes its place among such important conspiracy dramas as THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR and THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. The focus is on the 1972 investigation of the break-in to the Democratic Party headquarters, otherwise known as the Watergate burglary. Through a complicated web of intrigue and secrecy that eventually involves the highest levels of government, hungry young journalists Woodward (Robert Redford) and Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) of the Washington Post aggressively examine the incident, uncovering information that ultimately leads to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Exceptional performances by Redford and Hoffman are complemented by Jason Robards as the dubious but supportive executive editor at the Post, and Hal Holbrook's celebrated characterization of mysterious informer Deep Throat. The pacing of the film is quick and exciting, drawing viewers into the action of one of the most intriguing mysteries in all of American political history.
