Critics Consensus

A taut, solidly acted paean to the benefits of a free press and the dangers of unchecked power, made all the more effective by its origins in real-life events.

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

It's superbly directed on every level, but the sound design is particularly effective. Typewriter key strikes are mixed with the sound of gunshots: words are weapons.

Sight & Sound

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.

All the President's Men is a quintessential American movie: It does a lot of things well and makes it all look simple. It works on several levels.

Solzy at the Movies

All the President's Men speaks to the importance of having a free press and investigative journalists--even if it means uncovering crimes at the White House--and remains one of the most important films in cinematic history.

Rated: 5/5

This is a picture to appeal to film star fans and practical thinkers alike.

If, like me, you've said you never want to hear the word "Watergate" again, relent for 2 hours and 20 minutes; otherwise, you'll miss a great movie.

filme mais ou menos, esse filme pode ser bom para a época mas hoje não sei se seria um filme bom, as atuações bom ser boas, mas o filme não é tão bom para assistir hoje em dia.

Represents a different era of cinema. A staple. A vision. A meaning. It has all three, combined with fabulous acting and a slow yet tense pace makes it a 5/5 in my books.

Excelente roteiro e atuação de Dustin Hoffman e Robert Redford quanto a maneira de expor os bastidores e meandros do escândalo político que abalou a sociedade americana na década de setenta e resultou na renúncia do presidente Richard Nixon. Esse evento também incrustou-se na cultura ao popularizar o bordão “follow the money” repetido diversas vezes noutras produções de Hollywood.

The film does an excellent job of reporting on the connection of the Watergate break in to CREP. The Committee to re-elect the President . It was a break in that should not have happened. Nixon was leading in the polls by a huge percent. Mostly likely was even unaware of the break in at the time. His mistake was trying to cover it up. It destroyed his reputation as President and overlooked the positive things he and his administration accomplished. Very sad. But see the movie it is outstanding.

Moves at a fantastic pace. Not a minute wasted. A reminder in the age of social media as to what true investigative journalism has to go through before it can publish.

Saw it in the hospital When I was in the hospital because my brother hit me with a scooter and I made it to the doctor’s waiting room aka (to me at least) the final stage really. I only saw the ending part or the start, I don’t really know, anyways It was really good and I’d a billion percent recommend.
