Movie Review: Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House

Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House is the story of Mark Felt, one of the leaders of the FBI in the 1960's and 70's, who was passed over to be director of the FBI and turned out to be the legendary "deep throat", who along with the Washington Post and Woodward and Bernstein brought down the presidency of Richard Nixon.

What was very good about this movie was showing what Mark Felt went through, including some threats against his only daughter, the effect of being the main informant for the Watergate scandal and what that meant to his career in the FBI. Unfortunately this film was mostly too boring and too long to recommend. The cast, starring Liam Neeson and several other recognizable actors including Diane Lane who plays Felt's wife was good, but not very memorable. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this film because of these reasons.
