Honestly, if this had come out before 2007, I bet Fincher's "Zodiac" would've totally doubled its box office sales.

Exciting adventure with Pizza Dom and his friends going to rescue Pouchy in the movie very well great film to watch with kids.

I think the original novel had a deeper message, especially when it comes to class division issues in the U.S. The movie doesn't show those bigger social issues, but if you just think of it as a story about a family, it works fine.

If you don't know much about American politics and history, you probably won't be able to enjoy this film. It's basically all dialogue and a lot of idealism, with no plot or suspense. Personally, I really liked it!

A thrilling watch. I missed the clues at first, only realizing the implications during the gallery scene. The idea that “when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back” resonates here, much like “The Truman Show”—a stark reminder of the unpredictability of human desire.

The director really knows how to tell a story—two and a half hours fly by. It's basically showing us how politics is a total grind: it crushes your dreams, makes you neglect friends and family, and pushes you beyong moral judgements. And in the end? The idealists burn out or go down. The ones who've given up on ideals are still in the spotlight.

It's a really solid political thriller with just the right amount of historical twists. The back-and-forth struggles within ExComm are nailed perfectly, and the portrayals of Robert McNamara and Stevenson are spot-on. That said, the story exaggerates the protagonist's influence on the decision-making process and overlooks what it's truly like to be a bystander at the center of power.

This movie isn’t really about Watergate scandal; it’s more like a tribute to the vibe, music, and style of the ‘70s. If you're into the ‘70s and ‘80s, you’ll probably dig this one. It has Carly Simon's You're So Vain and ABBA's Dancing Queen. Total classics!

This is definitely one of the most intense movies I’ve ever seen! The fact that I can sit here with my cat in my lap is all because of the people who chose peace over nuclear war during those tense 13 days decades ago.

Politics in this movie is truly a messy game. It's all these self-serving people fighting to protect their own skin while tripping up others, with the campaign sponsors cleaning up the mess behind the scene.

The script is pretty solid, and the story delves into some dark themes. But honestly, Mike Nichols plays it a bit too safe with the style and pacing, which makes this political thriller about corruption too mild for what it could have been.

It's a bummer that the whole movie is told from an American perspective. It would've been way better if we got to see both sides.

This movie totally wasted two incredibly gorgeous leads. On the bright side, though, Kiki rocks at least 20 different outfits in the movie, so there’s that!

The director's cut is way too long and, honestly, not as good as Killing Kennedy. Halfway through, I realized it's kind of a Citizen Kane-style film, where the Watergate scandal is just a way into Nixon’s whole life story.

Anthony Hopkins really shows what acting is all about.

Anthony Hopkins' British vibe doesn't really fit for the American president. His take on Nixon felt a bit too neurotic. No doubt he's an amazing actor, though. If the role hadn't been based on a real person, he probably would have snagged an Oscar!

To me, Steven Spielberg’s style has always been just trying too hard.

Even though the movie is about patriotism, Steven Spielberg avoids the usual approach of trying to invoke strong emotions in his audience. He doesn't rely on music or flashy editing to force an emotional punch. Instead, he keeps the drama low-key, presenting history in a more raw and straightforward way. The production quality is excellent, and the performances are definitely Oscar-worthy.

Honestly, it’s all about Daniel Day-Lewis’ performance, especially with all those long dialogue scenes. It feels like Steven Spielberg’s been in the same gear since War Horse—great visuals, solid soundtrack, good acting... but the story falls flat.

This movie follows a pretty standard memoir style. The family story is definitely touching, it feels like the film is more about the characters themselves than the story. Luckily, Amy Adams and Glenn Close are the leads. They both give solid performances.
