I think probably the biggest fault of the movie for me is how it ends. For one, it’s very abrupt. However, the largest issue is that there is no recognition of the other contributions made to the Watergate case. Of course the movie is about Woodstein investigating Watergate, so I expect it to be about them rather than other aspects of the investigation involving the courts and Congress and what not. I don’t even think the other investigations necessarily had to be mentioned during the movie itself. The problem comes with the ending where it’s not even acknowledged that there was more investigation going on other than Woodstein’s. The movie makes it appear that only the ''Washington Post'' reports brought light to the corruption in the White House. All it would’ve taken was an informational card at the end to satisfy me. --Taylor Brann | I think probably the biggest fault of the movie for me is how it ends. For one, it’s very abrupt.

| + | To harp on the same thing I did last week: we are the heroes of our own lives. A movie can not be made without overplaying Woostein's role in the investigation if it is based on a book written by the two journalists. - JT Newcomb | ||
