Movie Haiku:Superlative BioPic updates ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN to shine much needed light on how the life of a reporter changed after Watergate... Woodward & Bernstein became heroes in the mid-70s, but by the mid-90s, Gary Webb (Renner) was hounded & humiliated for exposing the ugly truth about Reagan Admin support to the Nicaraguan Contras. Bravo to the whole cast & crew!
