Langella Superb !

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2009)

I just saw Frost/Nixon last night and it was a great treat ! I wasn't familiar with this story prior to seeing the film , but did know something of the story .Of course I knew about Nixon and Watergate but only knew Frost as rather a buffoon type talk show host, this film documents the story in gripping fashion .The way Frost suddenly pulls it together at the final moment is rather unbelievable , but Langella's performance seems to override all .He captures Nixon's frailty , his humor , his insecurity and his demons in a simply great performance .The actor who plays Frost does well but the film doesn't really go to deeply into the Frost character , but clearly this is the moment of Frost's life .He risked all on this , money, career and reputation .The result in the end was a history making event .See it Langella is unforgettable .
