A deeply disturbed man....

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2008)

This movie is not one I think many are going to watch with high expectations. But let me tell you... There are so many things to say when the perfect combination of actor and role locks into place. Frank Langella... amazed me. Simply astounding. Though he doesn't favor the former president much, Langella takes every precaution in making Nixon a complex and disturbed individual. Every movement, every imposing look, every tick helped mold what is most assuredly one of the finest performances of 2008.
Much credit must be given to the responsive performance given by Michael Sheen. Frost being the matter-of-fact talk show host that he was, I think Sheen could have led the performance to failure. But just as Nixon states, Frost was a worthy adversary, and so is Sheen. They play off of each other so well, taking every little detail into consideration.
9 out of 10 (for a job VERY well done)
