Liam Neeson? Bruce Greenwood? Eddie Marsan? Marton Csokas? (the guy from Into the Badlands) They're all great actors plus Tony Goldwyn whom I loved seeing in a political role like this, Scandal (nice series, check it out.) The cast is simply talented and awesome!
The movie was not too long, nor too short. it just felt right. I loved every bit of it.
Joan Felt, daughter of Mark felt describes her father as an "American hero". You're goddamn right. Some may say he probably did it to be the director of the FBI. Others say he did it for good of the FBI and the country ultimately. I think the latter, he did it out of institutional loyalty to the Bureau. Awesome film.
Liam Neeson does a fantastic job- in my opinion- in a role that is not action related. He would do well if he takes more roles like this. (I thought he did well in Third Person too).
Finally, this is just my opinion. I enjoyed this very much!
PS: If you are more interested in Mark Felt, I'd recommend you read his book **A G-Man's Life: The FBI, Being 'Deep Throat, ' and the Struggle for Honor in Washington**
You could also go on Youtube to hear the taped conversation of POTUS Nixon with Mark Felt "Deepthroat'' and other taped conversations of the president suspecting Felt to be the source leaking information.

@pato22 Now that's what i call a review. Useful background information. Thank you for that.<br /> <br /> I also enjoyed the movie. It was intense and had a good cast.<br /> But i have to admit, i am into that political, biographic stuff. Even if there are often parts made-up (but i did not check it for this movie).<br />

Liam Neeson is fine in the role of Mark Felt, and the subject matter itself is deeply intriguing, but is dealt with in such an odd way. Bad odd. It is essentially a sequence of disparate scenes with no connective tissue other than that they are about the same conspiracy, which unfolds very quickly in a straight line with no consequences felt... Felt... Ohhh. I see what I did there.

Maybe for a diehard political biopic fan this could be the way to go, or someone who wasn’t aware Watergate ever happened and wanted some hard and fast facts, but for me, it was only okay.

_Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal._
