It was Hanks’ turn to take a shot at the legendary newspaper man in Spielberg’s story of The Washington Post’s reporting of the Pentagon Papers. Hanks and Meryl Streep play off each other splendidly, and take viewers into the win-at-all-costs world of investigative journalism. Hanks’ played the gruff, yet, flawed, Bradlee quite well. Perhaps better than Jason Robards’ Academy Award-winning portrayal in the classic All the President’s Men.
