TxMike I watched this at home on DVD from my public library. It is timely as almost the same thing is happening in the Washington today. It complements the 1976 movie "All the President's Men" which focuses on the role of the Washington Post reporters.In 1972 several man were caught breaking into the Democratic party headquarters at the Watergate hotel. As the FBI began to look into it there was evidence that the men had ties to the White House and to Nixon himself. Liam Neeson as Mark Felt, a 30-year FBI man who was the Associate FBI director under Hoover, gets involved. Then Hoover unexpectedly died but Felt was not appointed as interim FBI Director. Maybe that helped him decide to do what he did.Stifled by orders from the White House to complete the Watergate investigation quickly, Felt used the power of the press, purposely leaking information to a reporter he had known for some time, by use of public pay phones or clandestine meetings. Eventually pressure cracked the cases, many of Nixon's staff went to prison, Nixon himself resigned in shame.Neeson is great in this role, some think the movie moves too slowly and is too long but I think it was ideally made. I was a young adult in 1972, I remember Watergate and Nixon's resignation. This movie is welcome to fill in who became known as "deep throat."
Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) This was a good story that needed to be told well, but instead was all over the place and lacked the "oomph" to hold the viewers attention. 103 mins isn't that long for a film with this much information needing to be told, but this one felt much longer with its dragged out pacing. It was poorly edited with I'm sure some important parts cut, and unimportant parts left in. The cinematography was on point, but even the directors lack of direction towards his actors left them stale and mostly uninteresting. 7/10 from me
themizzz Liam nesson my all time favorite actor well let me tell u about this movie "mark felt" great movie and awesome performens by liam and other actor tooguyz if u love spy things then watch it now
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of the deputy chief of the FBI, who is not given the promotion that he thought he would get. He then goes on to expose the biggest political scandal of all time.It is interesting that this film does not concentrate on external events at all, so you don't get to see who the seven people who got arrested are, or what evidence the agents have uncovered. It only deals with what Mark Felt have seen or heard, so most of the film occurs in the office. Because of this, viewers who are unfamiliar with the Watergate scandal will have to read about it in advance in order to fully understand the plot. It is a thrilling story, especially the fact that Mark Felt must have endured enormous pressure during that time, and all the subsequent years of his life.
