Investigative Journalism in its Crudest Form

Truthfully, I did not enjoy All the President’s MenĀ nearly as much as I had hoped. While it was based off an extremely interesting event in American history, I thought the acting to be quite cheesy. Now, with that being said, I think there’s something to be commended of the investigative journalism this film brings to life. While the acting of Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman was subpar in my book, I believe they did a fantastic job of portraying the situationĀ the real-life reporters found themselves in. The film showed how aggressive and relentless Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein had to be in their efforts to uncover Nixon’s crimes. It was also neat to see how different the two journalists were, although successfully working together.
