Editorial Review:
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 exposé 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

A good movie about the unfolding of the Watergate scandal. I bought this movie to show to my classroom... but their generation was easily bored because of the lack of show-effects...
Rating:  - ...or Watergate: How two reporters brought down a President
"All the President's Men" is a superb account of Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's tenacious investigation into the Watergate break-in that would eventually lead to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.

Brilliant use is made of sound and ... Read More

For those who forgot about the Watergate era, and those who were too young or unborn, this is a recommended history lesson.
Rating: - Amazing Movie!
This is just a stunning film. It builds without special effects or a booming soundtrack and loud noises. Better than that it is a true story about a couple of heros. It's hard to believe in 2007 when news reporters and newspapers were so important and independent, that they could bring down an entire presidency but it happened. I doubt with corporate ownership and the lack of readership for newspapers in general if it could ever happen again. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman are in top form ... Read More
Rating: - Determination
Serious determination and hard work to go for something against the odds. Recommended after watching Good Night and Good Luck. Similar determination and guts.
This is a great period piece for the 70's. The style, clothes, phone, "electronics."
Gives you an insight into the issue, but also wanting to know more. Redford and Hoffman do a great job. But, also all the back-up cast as well.
