The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It was ok & I learned a few things. Would have liked an CHI Acting Director with a better American accent.A funny mistake comes when they are driving around the city and pass the WWII memorial,which was not built til many years later!

2/16/18. Stellar lead actors unfortunately did not save this docudrama from turning into a snoozefest. The pacing was just off. Could have been so much more interesting so it could live up to the title.

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

Having lived through the Nixon years, I was hoping for a more complete All The Presidents Men. Knowing now the name of Deep Throat, I was looking for cinematic greatness (or at least some entertainment) in the retelling of this important story. The historical accuracy was my only reward. Mark Felt is a movie worth watching, but as a documentary and not as a compelling movie. The Nixon years were a time when a ruthless, suspicious, narcissistic psychopath looked to consolidate the power of the presidency and move our nation towards an imperial democracy. Anyone see any possible parallels to current events? Mark Felt as a man belongs on a short list of patriots who stepped up at a critical moment in American history, much like Patrick Henry or (more controversially) Edward Snowden. Instead, we got a historically accurate but dramatically deficient movie that will be quickly forgotten. Like most reviewers on IMDB, I am ignorant of how movies are truly made. I cannot say who bears responsibility for making this an average film. The director? The writer? Liam Neeson leads an able cast and does a good job. The true story was an emotional cliffhanger, with the stakes being the highest since the Civil War. Nixon was a man elected president who wanted to become a dictator. Mark Felt and the Washington Post took him on almost singlehandedly, and saved the Constitution. This story needs to be retold. Mark Felt, The Man Who Brought Down the White House, doesn't come close to capturing the real life drama and importance of this OMG moment in our nation's history.
