Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: A --
The movie is a victory lap for American journalism -- the triumphant flip side to Network's self-loathing take on the media.

Entertainment Weekly
[The film] remains a spectacular filmic achievement -- a perfect suspense film...
Premiere
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.

Los Angeles Free Press
4 stars out of 4 -- [T]his 1976 film feels particularly relevant.
Rolling Stone
[T]his is as much of a nail-biter as any action thriller.
Total Film
Pakula was clearly talented from the moment he lensed his first feature, but like so many other New Hollywood icons, nationwide recognition didn't come until he took on the story of one of the great con jobs on the American people, the Watergate scandal.

Collider
Rating: 4/5 --
A bravura piece of filmmaking to rank alongside his earlier 'paranoia' gem, The Parallax View.

Product Description:
Covers the period from 1972-1974; Produced and released in 1976.
With ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, director Alan Pakula adapts the best-selling book by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Pakula created a film that takes its place among such important conspiracy dramas as THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR and THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. The focus is on the 1972 investigation of the break-in to the Democratic Party headquarters, otherwise known as the Watergate burglary. Through a complicated web of intrigue and secrecy that eventually involves the highest levels of government, hungry young journalists Woodward (Robert Redford) and Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) of the Washington Post aggressively examine the incident, uncovering information that ultimately leads to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Exceptional performances by Redford and Hoffman are complemented by Jason Robards as the dubious but supportive executive editor at the Post, and Hal Holbrook's celebrated characterization of mysterious informer Deep Throat. The pacing of the film is quick and exciting, drawing viewers into the action of one of the most intriguing mysteries in all of American political history.
