Alla presidentens män

Nja, inte min typ av film. Tyckte mest att huvudpersonerna gjorde samma sak hela tiden och det beskrevs vädigt dåligt hur allt hängde ihop.

En 4+ som film, men en -5 i sin egen genre.

Taglines: At times it looked like it might cost them their jobs, their reputations, and maybe even their lives. / The most devastating detective story of the century!

En riktigt, riktigt bra film. Punkt.
Mer behöver inte sägas egentligen. Filmen hamnar Minnesotasjövattenklart i DVD-samlingen. Denna kan ses om flera gånger tack vare att: den är grymt spännande, välgjord, genomtänkt, har bra manus, mycket bra skådespelare och är bra regisserad. Den anses ju också av AFI som en av de bästa filmerna som nånsin gjorts *.

Trivia: Frank Wills, the security guard who discovered the break-in at the Watergate complex, plays himself. / One scene involving Robert Redford on the phone is done in a continuous six-minute single take with the camera tracking in slowly. Towards the end Redford makes a mistake - he calls the phone caller by the wrong name - but as he stays in character it simply appears genuine and this was the take used in the final cut. / When Kenneth Dahlberg tells Bob Woodward on the phone, "I've just been through a terrible ordeal! My neighbor's wife has been kidnapped!" he is not lying. On 27 July 1972, a few days before Woodward called Dahlberg, Virginia Piper - wife of a prominent Minnesota businessman and a close friend of the Dahlberg family - was kidnapped from her home in Minneapolis. She was released two days later in Duluth, after her husband paid a $1 million ransom. / On Tuesday 31 May 2005, in advance of a revelatory July 2005 "Vanity Fair" article written by his attorney and spokesman, ninety-one-year-old W. Mark Felt acknowledged publicly for the first time that he was in fact "Deep Throat," a fact corroborated by Bob Woodward and the Washington Post. At the time of the Watergate break-in, Mr. Felt was second in command at the F.B.I. / At the time of filming in Washington D.C., Robert Redford stayed in the Watergate hotel. / This was the first film Jimmy Carter watched during his presidential tenure. / The furious volley of typewriter keys striking paper in the opening scenes was created by layering the sounds of gunshots and whip-lashes over the actual sounds of a typewriter, accentuating the film's theme of words as weapons. This is also why the closing scene has a teletypewriter printing headlines with the sound of cannon fire from a 21-gun salute in the background. / * In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked this as the #77 Greatest Movie of All Time. It was the first inclusion of this film on the list.

En ganska intressant och engagerande film om "Watergate-skandalen" Hoffman och Redford har ett bra samspel. Ibland var det dock lite svårt att hänga med i det stundtals invecklade manuset och den var även lite för lång.
Alla presidentens män är självklart ändå en bra film som får en stark trea i betyg.

klassiker detta ju för tusan

Intressant film och Hoffman / Redford är bra. Trots det tycker jag att den har ett par alldeles för långa 'transportsträckor'

Mycket sevärd och välspelad film av Redford & Hoffman! Lika aktuell idag som då, när det begavs sig. Watergateskandalen var ingen engångsföreteelse...
