"The Post" is an interesting but far too low key story about the "Pentagon Papers" and both the professional and political issues surrounding their release and publication by a leading American newspaper. I remember living through this story and somehow the incredible excitement and controversy of the time were not successfully translated into this film. The movie should have created the tension and cloak-and-dagger thrills of "All the President's Men" but it failed to do so. However, the acting by all of the major characters was flawless and certainly that alone makes this movie worth seeing.
