Sony Pictures Classics have provided us with our very first look at Liam Neeson as Deep Throat, the infamous whistle blower in the first clip from the upcoming The Silent Man.
The film revovles around Mark Felt – aka Deep Throat, the pseudonym given to the notorious whistle blower for one of the greatest scandals of all time, Watergate.
