Solidly absorbing biographical drama about the Watergate whistleblower, starring Liam Neeson.
Mark Felt is a lacklustre staging of a fascinating episode in recent US history. Despite Neeson’s strong presence, this is a deep throat that never finds its voice.
Offers a fresh perspective on a very familiar story.
The story’s accidental timeliness may generate some interest, but the film kills it pretty swiftly.
Liam Neeson’s heroic portrayal of the FBI boss who helped topple Nixon following Watergate, doesn’t quite wash.
Some of the detail about Felt’s private life feels like a distraction but this is mostly a solid, absorbing political drama.
