Spielberg's least spectacular film can rely on a great cast and the powerful message of the importance of a free journalism as portrayed by the real case of Washington Post vs the US government in 1971. Starts out rather slowly but ends up very satisfying. It says a lot about the catastrophic current US administration that this film feels like full attack on its handling of the press.

Great acting, a little boring and slow to start.

Great story, direction, actors equals a wonderful movie. They can make a part two featuring Watergate Scandal, but that's for the another time.

Timely modern-day commentary is offered in this look back to the drama that unfolded with the release of several volumes of classified military documents that outline the failure of U.S. policy in Vietnam. Everyone is on point, more or less, working professionals delivering a class on how to deliver the goods with class. Still ... although the stakes are high there is a wee disconnect that enables a lack of concern for the efforts and this'll go down as just another "newspaper movie", without the hoopla the players usually get.
