Are you sure, you want to add Frost_Nixon
to your wish list?
Storyline:
Writer Peter Morgan's legendary battle between Richard Nixon, the disgraced president with a legacy to save, and David Frost, a jet-setting television personality with a name to make, in the story of the historic encounter that changed both their lives. For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans (as well as a $600,000 fee). Likewise, Frost's team harbored doubts about their boss' ability to hold his own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted.

I just saw the advance press preview of this 122-minute movie based on the stage play that was based on events leading up to including the David Frost exclusive 70s interview with disgraced ex-President Richard Nixon.
I found the movie to be STUNNINGLY illuminating, thought-provoking, revealing, humanizing, and exceedingly EXCELLENTLY well-made by director/producer Ron Howard.
The STELLAR cast led by Frank Langella and Michael Sheen shone with great talent. AWESOME acting!!!
Initially, I thought it was going to be a boring drama or documentary - but I was mistaken in my (mis)assumption - because this movie riveted me - glued me to my seat in anticipation as the story unfolded - well-paced and well-scripted - at times suspenseful and at times comically funny/tragic.
I am SO GLAD to have seen this movie - and I urge everyone to give it a chance as it is one of the best movies of this year.
VERDICT:
HIGHLY-RECOMMENDED.
A Must-See movie.

This film is a must for any person interested in polotics. Sheen and Langella both have the characters down pat. Their personal and professional dueling brought back memories of the original telecast. With the recent release of Nixon tapes make him even more paranoid than the film shows. I did not remember his chief of staff but Kevin Bacon does a really great job of someone who clearly adored this president.

Tension filled and extremely well acted, this is a must see for those of us who lived through the Nixon resignation and trauma. This film was far better than I expected.

Movie was great--top 5 of 2008. I was fortunate enough to see the play on Broadway and THAT was also amazing. A reliable friend said the movie was better than the play--I saw it with my wife and we loved the movie, but thought it was just below the very high standard set by the play. That said, it is a must-see: Great acting by the two leads, compelling story and excellently directed. Go see it!

I was impressed with how well the film kept me interested from beginning to end. My expectations for this were low so the outcome was very nice. I really liked how Ron Howard was able to make something as dull as an entrance to an interview so riveting and exciting. Throughout the whole length of the interview sequences, I found myself in a state of suspense (Hans Zimmer also contributes to this with his great score). Although it seems to be a strange portrayal, I saw Richard Nixon as an evil villain and David Frost as a superhero. although the film has about as much physical action as a dead bug, it is mental action packed. The entire time you wonder if David Frost will actually bring Nixon down (especially after their first interview). You learn the shifty ways of Richard Nixon and how he could take any negative subject against him and turn it into a nice little anecdote about some guy he met once at a golf course (hypothetically speaking). I was impress with how good this movie was
