Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House (2017)

Taken from the memories of Woodward's 'Deep Throat' himself, 'Mark Felt: The Man Who Took Down the White House' is the famed Watergate leakers story the way he would want it told, and because of that it's wanting. The movie shy's away from the man's at best mixed motivations for doing what he did, so you never feel like your getting the whole story. Done basically as a procedural, Liam Neeson's performance as the man is closed off, which is both the way he probably really was, as well as an obstacle to figuring out who he truly was behind that. Well cast, this movie is unfortunately a bore. *1/2
