All the President's Men Revisited Trailers

The Watergate case was the original game changer of America politics. How has Watergate changed the Presidency? What effect has the scandal had on our political leaders? And has hope and optimism forever been replaced in our national dialogue by doubt and cynicism? In 1973, Watergate's most pivotal year, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein doggedly investigated the scandal exposing the long, twisted trail of cover-ups and lies.

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
snickers233 This is gripping in terms of "today" and what is happening with our current President of the United States. Nobody should "sleep through a revolution". This is educational, interesting, thought provoking. Americans were more united at that time. Let's try to be again.
celestekent I write this review upon watching a "revisited" broadcast of this film Jan 2, 2018. I see Nixon and Trump walking in lockstep down the same hallway. The lies, the paranoia, and the attempts to stop investigations.The main difference is that Nixon had a far more credible reputation than Trump has, and many more people believed Nixon than ever believed Trump. And since social media has come into being long after Nixon, Trump is able to manipulate public opinion far better than Nixon could.As far as the film is concerned it was good to involve Woodward and Bernstein for this documentary and it amazed me that such a detective story could be so powerful a statement.
JonathanWalford This was a great documentary but I have to say that Ben Stein's comment "I don't think any president has been more wrongly persecuted than Nixon, ever. I just think he was a saint..." at which point he chokes up and removes his glasses to wipe his eyes, had me laughing because I thought he was making a joke! Until I realized he wasn't. I sat with my mouth open replaying what Stein had said. I always thought Stein was funny, and I knew his politics ran to the right, but Nixon a saint? Stein is very touchy about anything that resembles an antisemitic comment, including a joke that includes a cliché Jewish character, so how can he support a president that was clearly antisemitic? (not to mention a drunk, a wife-beater, and a dog hater...) Did Nixon not say several times on the Whitehouse tapes something to the effect of "The Jews are out to get me"?
Michael_Elliott All the President's Men Revisited (2013) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Very entertaining documentary that originally aired on the Discovery Channel. The documentary features interviews with Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman, Carl Berstein, Bob Woodward and dozens of current political commentators as they discuss not only the film but also the events that led to President Nixon stepping down from office. To be honest, there's very little talk about the actual film, although Redford does talk about when he got interested in doing the film and there's also a reunion between him and Hoffman where they discuss the characters. The majority of the running time is devoted to the actual events as we hear current television personalities talk about the events and the breaking points that eventually brought Nixon down. For the most part this documentary does a very good job at explaining everything so that even the most single-minded person would be able to see what happened, why it happened and why Nixon had to step down from office. Ben Stein is interviewed and he's still brought to tears by the event. I thought the interviews were all extremely good and especially on subjects like Deep Throat. It's interesting hearing from the two real reporters on the events that led to the source coming out of hiding and admitting what he did. History buffs should certainly enjoy this documentary.
