Sheesh! The title is almost as long as the movie. Anyhoo, this is the story of the infamous Deep Throat, the leaker who gave info to Woodward & Bernstein during the Watergate scandal in the 70's. Played w/his usual strength & dignity, Liam Neeson does what he can w/what really is a thumbnail sketch of a film. Yes he was an important figure in history but he only merits a mention when it comes to a big screen treatment. Hell I think he pops up once in All the President's Men & even Forrest Gump deserves as much a seat at the table in toppling Nixon as anybody else. Filmmakers need to get over the fact that most important moments in history have probably been committed to film so every little angle or aspect needn't this kind of attention. Felt reminded me of a movie named Parkland from a few years ago where the hospital where JFK was treated after his assassination was given its own cinematic moment in time when really pretty much all that needed to be said on the subject has been uttered. The same goes here.
