Well crafted and done in a witty and fun manner of talk show style showdown of polar opposite styles and intelligent cunning minds.

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2008)

Ron Howard who always does such good work in film for the fact that he's such a film student and loves history. Really does fine here it's no wonder his latest work "Frost/Nixon" is such an acclaimed and worthy film for the fact that it's historically significant. Adapted from Peter Morgan's screenplay it does such a good of retelling of the 1977 actual interviews between British Comic and newsman the liberal and sharp David Frost(Michael Sheen) and ex president Richard Nixon(Frank Langella). As for once as many may not have seen the interviews the film does it's best to search for answers and the truth about the Watergate scandal. It's a great connection to show how politics and journalism changed forever. Thanks to Ron Howard for bringing the Watergate topic back to many Americans it shows that they could be educated about it.
As you see during the film the interviews Frost even though a comic is as sharp as ever as he pressured "Trickey Dick" into the tough questions about Watergate and Richard is as cunning as ever. I'm glad one human being had the guts to search for answers that man unexpectedly was David Frost. The film is good to watch for historical reasons even though it may not have brought closure at least it explores for the answers in a witty and fresh challenging way as all Americans deserved a right for the truth and Ron really puts good effort into showing how the behind the scenes candid truth searching would put us more at ease. See it "Frost/Nixon" is a great historical film that had the guts to question the Watergate scandal and at least it tried to hold the powerful accountable(Richard Nixon) in some form by facing tough questions. And Langella's performance of Nixon is wonderful as no one could have done it better from the accent, the motions, and actions and the walk he captured Richard so well. Watch it for the performance of Frank Langella if nothing else.
