All the President's Men | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A story that has been marshalled with dazzling skill and precision, but lacks the imaginative hooks that might have taken it even further in mood and meaning.

Although many tales have been told, it is the genesis story of the Nixon/Watergate scandal that remains its most compelling.

It is not the definitive movie on Watergate, but it is, for the Seventies, a definitive movie about the American character, and as such, one of the most important film experiences of the decade.

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.

A bravura piece of filmmaking to rank alongside his earlier 'paranoia' gem, The Parallax View.
