DVD Reviews of All the President's Men (Two-Disc Special Edition)

DVD Review: All the President's Men
Summary: 3 Stars

As many others American Movies, as self criticism is great, but, this one don't show very much, obviously when was made, still the political pressure was on.

DVD Review: ...can't put Tricky Dick back together again
Summary: 5 Stars

They don't make movies like they used to. Sadly, the same can be said for journalists!

Two Hall of Fame actors at the peak of their powers and a story of historical national importance.

This film should be in everyone's Top 10.


DVD Review: The Real Journalism
Summary: 5 Stars

Everyone who wants to learn how the real journalism should be must see this film.

DVD Review: Wonderful, well-produced movie.
Summary: 5 Stars

It's a great movie, well cast and directed. The second disc gives more background.

DVD Review: Increasingly, looks like a masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars

The more time passes, the more this looks and feels like a masterpiece. It's the rare movie that gets the world of journalism right, and gets Washington DC right. In short, it's a film unafraid to present the world as it is, not as Hollywood would have us glamorize or sensationalize it. Beyond that, though, it is an outstanding piece of movie craftsmanship. The plot is propelled forward through a blizzard of associations, names, phone calls, snippets of conversation, visual images -- which means, among other things, the movie has the nerve to trust the intelligence of its audience. The suspense is remarkable, the performances consistently outstanding. The actors are just compulsively watchable -- pretty much all of them. What the movie has to say about politics, and political corruption, and the sheer volatility of dangerous information is all still burningly relevant today -- in fact the perspective of time makes it more, not less, so. There's simply no way a piece this smart and this ambitious could get made in Hollywood today -- we've all been turned into dummies by the studio honchos and their obsession with multi-platform revenue streams. This is the real deal.

Description of All the President's Men (Two-Disc Special Edition)

In the Watergate Building, lights go on and four burglars are caught in the act. That night triggered revelations that drive a U.S. President from office. Washington reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) grabbed the story and stayed with it through doubts, denials and discouragement. All the President's Men is their story. Directed by Alan J. Pakula and based on the Woodward/Bernstein book, the film won four 1976 Academy Awards (Best Supporting Actor/Jason Robards, Adaptation Screenplay/William Goldman, Art Direction and Sound). It also explores a working newspaper, where the mission is to get the story and get it right.

It helps to have one of history's greatest scoops as your factual inspiration, but journalism thrillers just don't get any better than All the President's Men. Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford are perfectly matched as (respectively) Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, whose investigation into the Watergate scandal set the stage for President Richard Nixon's eventual resignation. Their bestselling expos? was brilliantly adapted by screenwriter William Goldman, and director Alan Pakula crafted the film into one of the most intelligent and involving of the 1970s paranoid thrillers. Featuring Jason Robards in his Oscar-winning role as Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, All the President's Men is the film against which all other journalism movies must be measured. --Jeff Shannon
