Before Coppola directed landmark
cinematic masterpieces such as «The Godfather» and «Apocalypse Now», he directed this low budget chiller with B - movie king Roger Corman producing with funds left over from «The Young Racers».
It's an enduringly fascinating and still - relevant story, so what a shame that writer - director Peter Landesman has made
such a clunky film, made to look like a
cinematic footnote by the definitive picture on the subject, Alan J. Pakula's 1976
masterpiece All The President's Men.
