Howard Hunt, the infamous White House-employed burgular busted at the Watergate Hotel in 1972 (and launch a 2-year process that would lead in Nixon resigning) died the other day.
The discovered connection between "HH" and the White House by Washington Post reporters Woodward and Bernstein would also launch the great journalistic story of the 20th century. They would inspire a new generation to get their shoes and work hard for the truth...along with that same generation to do their best to find the "great story," whatever its there or not.
People will complain that the movie gets too intertwined with the massive amounts of information and having to keep in mind the developing connections that the reporters dig up. However, we are so entrenched within the mystery that when viewers may or may not get lost, the dramatic narrative keeps you going full-steam.
