5/5
Intelligent, thought-provoking drama
by tahl2 (Alexandria, VA USA)
Despite excellent supporting performances, this movie is really a one-man show: it's all about Spader's smart, emotional performance as Daniel Ellsberg.
Very little of the movie happens in the Watergate time-frame from which we know Ellberg's name. Most instead covers the ten years (roughly 1963-1973) during which he reached the point of thinking the most patriotic act he could take was to release top-secret Department of Defense material about the Vietnam war. It's an engrossing exploration of the great questions: what is duty? to whom do we owe loyalty?
Nothing explodes, except during a few striking, necessary scenes in Vietnam. Thanks be for intelligent film-making.
5/5
Wonderful "made for TV" film!!!
by LaDeBoBo (Aurora, Illinois United States)
THE PENTAGON PAPERS is a truly engrossing dramatic film! Despite being "made for TV," wonderful performances abound in this movie. James Spader--an extraordinarily gifted actor--gives a top-notch portrayal of Daniel Ellsberg, which keeps the viewers' attention throughout the course of the film. The story has a fascinating plot that explores a complex question: is treason justifiable when it will reveal the truth to the public? Should revealing classified documents to prove the failures of the Vietnam war be considered treason...or should it be considered an act of patriotism? This film thoughtfully considers these questions and more, and leaves you to form your own opinions about whether Ellsberg's actions were right or wrong.
If you are a fan of James Spader, this film is a must...as he is at his best here. For anyone interested in a good story, based on true events, this movie is worth a look!
5/5
The embodiment of "Love your country, fear your government!
by Nancy L. Middleton (Vermont)
This movie came out on TNT within a month of the start of "Operation Iraqi Freedom." I had taped it off the TV and made copies of the TV broadcast for just about everyone I knew.
For those of us who watched with jaws dropped as Congress voted nearly unanimously to support the war, the movie brings back in vivid detail the times from the late 60's. I appreciate that it brought out the personal inner turmoil of a man who was initially a "hawk" (because he felt that Communism must be stopped), but who became convinced that the Viet Nam War was wrong and that he needed to do something to stop it, even at the risk of being tried for treason.
Having lived in Washington throughout the entire Watergate affair, leaving a week or two after Nixon, I really appreciate the delicious irony of the fact that Nixon was so anxious to discredit Ellsburg that he had his "Watergate Burglers" break into Ellsburg's psychiatrist office and steal his file. It was this contamination of due process that resulted in Ellsburg's trial being thrown out of court.
This movie is a must-see for any student of democracy, and any American who is under 45....
5/5
Exquisite and heroic film
by James R. Dustrude (Minnetrista, MN USA)
The very best kind of film--entertaining, beautiful, easy to watch, and very informative. This film goes further, providing an extremely rare opportunity to make us smarter about the inner workings of our government. This, plus "Why We Fight" and "Hacking Democracy" provide a critically important overview for any American citizen. "All that is necessary for the forces of evil to triumph is for enough good [people] to do nothing." And what can good people do? For starters, spread the word!
3/5
The Pentagon plodder
by Adam A. Price (INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA United States)
Not a bad piece of work considering it's a true story, the pacing was a little slow for my taste. Spader was a good choice for the role, a very non-descript actor was needed and that was achieved.
The Pentagon Papers Summary
Dramatization of the story of Pentagon worker and former Marine, Daniel Ellsberg, a man who saught to publish classified information that disclosed the United States' true involvement in the Vietnam War.
