Frost/Nixon (2008)Directed by Ron Howard, rated R, 122 minutes
Frost/Nixon is a tense and surprisingly entertaining docudrama about the post-Watergate interview by British talk show host David Frost of former President Richard Nixon. Frank Langella and Michael Sheen, as Nixon and Frost respectively, aptly revive their roles from the play. Langella even manages to bring sympathy to Nixon, making him a sad and dreary character. Though the story has a slow start, and a few odd scenes where characters talk to the camera like a documentary, once the interviews actually start,
the story gets interesting and oddly suspenseful. Frost/Nixon is a tightly made, and interesting look at a true story. You'll like it if: You like historical movies, movies based on plays, All the President's Men or Apollo 13.
