Forces collided

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2010)

An enjoyable film that featured two dynamic actors and performances. The slow build-up to the interviews and the retrospectives from different parties make us as an audience eager for the initial showdown. How the interviews finally play out are nothing short of engaging, riveting, and calculating. Langella secured his Oscar nod with a performance ranging from electric and crackling to subdued and humbled. Sheen plays off him when needed and does show a wide range of emotion over the course of the film as you can see how the interviews take their toll on him mentally. Overall, two great performances in a film that I hope gets it's deserved recognition come Award time.
