Magnetic and thrilling tale detailing uncovering of facts in the Watergate scandal by young Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Movie brings every bit as much drama and intrigue to the screen as the unfolding story once brought into peoples living rooms. Viewers will be further drawn in by a talented group of familiar faces that are mesmerizing from start to finish. As much a detective story as a political docudrama, Pakula and company have crafted an important and relentlessly entertaining motion picture illustrating the power of the written word. Hoffman and Redford offer believable chemistry while the building sense of urgency and paranoia is as effective as ever. Holbrook is a scene-stealer as the shadowy informant known only as Deep-Throat. If you weren’t there you’ll certainly feel like you were by the time the credits roll. Excellent in every respect.
