I don't usually go to the movies unless they're "event" movies -- something that needs to be seen on the big screen to be fully appreciated. But my wife and I were bored and had heard good thing about it, so...
Anyway, it was excellent. No action, except for the opening Vietnam War scenes, but it was absolutely riveting. Well acted, well written, and I totally loved how it subtilely (or maybe not-so-subtilely) tied the Daniel Elsberg events into our current times. Fascinating movie. Go see!

(3,975 posts)the men's clothing and hairdos were more 1961 than 1971....so that was off. And there was NO score. I wish it had been more Elsberg and less Kay. This will never win best picture...too many other better contenders.

There were a few other silly mistakes, but overall they did a pretty good job of making it look authentic.
