Very good film. Gripping insight into Nixon's mind. "I'm saying that if the President does it, that means it's not illegal's." - Nixon

I'm still learning things about Watergate. It really wasn't such a big deal in the UK; it seemed boring. Unsurprisingly, every film I've seen about it is also just plain dull - apart from this one. Compelling performances from the two leads create a gripping watch and even though the film still (for me) assumes too much knowledge about the issue, it boils it down nicely to Nixon's own perception of himself. Brilliant stuff.

A clever political drama that comes across as sporting movie as two forces trade blows. Brilliantly written, superbly acted, the tension that is built through just dialogue is fantastic. One of 2008's best movies.

Decent political drama, gripping and entertaining at the same time. There are many films about the event and the president, and this is also compelling owed to flawless acting by stellar casts. Never know how much of these are true, but feel so real and probable.

The greatest 02 hours: and 02 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Based on a true story!!!!!!!!!!!!

An amazing movie. Sheen made this movie.

I lived through the years of Nixon's election, Watergate scandal, reelection, and resignation. I am no fan of the man and so I never watched the interviews when they aired. This movie put a human face on someone that I otherwise just thought of as a sociopath. David Frost's plight as he tried to put the interviews together was dramatically presented. All the actor's did a great job portraying their roles, especially the guy who played Nixon. It ends up being a good human interest story with characters you're interested in getting to know. This movie is a must see for anyone who has an interest in that period of history or the history of the presidency.

Ok, it might be a politically heavy week, but you won't regret tuning in to this. Robbed of Best Picture in the 2009 Oscars, Ron Howard's outstanding take on the infamous set of exclusive interviews between David Frost and President Nixon in 1977 is as tense as any thriller. Frank Langella is superb as Nixon, (having an advantage over Anthony Hopkins 1995 take on the character in that he looks vaguely like the ex-president) but it's Michael Sheen who steals the show with his fabulous portrayal of the British icon.

The tendency for those not interested in American politics might be to studiously avoid Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon, but this would be an unfortunate mistake. The film is about British lightweight talk show host David Frost (Michael Sheen) and his historic interviews with disgraced former president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella), but it's about so much more – accountability, duty, obligation, responsibility… Thanks to a great script, solid performances, and flawless pacing, Frost/Nixon is funny, dramatic, suspenseful, touching, and an incredibly entertaining viewing experience from start to finish.

A beautifully crafted, well-made film with accomplished performances from Michael Sheen and Frank Langella. I was actually pleasantly surprised with how well this film turned out. It really captures the essence of the time with complexity, funny moments and a screenplay which is fairly historically accurate. It also very effectively shows Frost's character arc from softball tabloid interviewer to hard nose journalist as he juggles trying to nail down the former President with the huge financial risk he took to secure the interviews. The film steadily grows in intensity and the duel between Frost and Nixon is compelling, taut and enthralling.

Everything I want in a cerebral movie.

A man-talking movie about the organising of some man-talking. It just doesn't get more meta for a man-talking movie than this. A bunch of guys gets together and spends ages planning an interview of ex-President Nixon. And then they do the interview. Holy-moly there was an awful lot of men just talking and talking and talking. And talking about talking. Occasionally talking to other men just to spice things up like a flat-white.

Compelling and informative. Certainly one of Ron Howard's shining moments. Sheen and Langella gave stunning performances. An astounding, near-perfect film.

4 bags-Nixon vs. Frost isn't my favorite vs. movie. I liked Freddy vs. Jason and Batman v. Superman better. I was looking forward to Jones v. Bond, but Connery died saturday (RIP)! So I had a hunch while watching this that somehow these interviews weren't this big of a deal. Sure enough, they weren't! Many liberties were taken, big surprise. But Langella is awesome as Tricky Dick, and he's the reason to watch this thing. Supporting players are good-you got Kevin Bacon (KB) as Nixon's right hand man, Martin Sheen as Frost, I mean Mike Sheen. This is the first time I've seen Mike Sheen not be a vampire and he was pretty good. You got Rockwell, Platt, etc but it's all about Langella man is he good! Again, not an action packed vs. movie but good on them for trying.

The actors, director, and producers did a fantastic job bringing this compelling and nuanced story to life.

This is an extremely well-made movie--what else would one expect with Ron Howard directing? And I couldn't stop watching. It gave me a level of closure regarding Nixon and Watergate that simply reading the unexpected ending of the Frost interviews wasn't able to deliver. In college, the only 온라인카지노추천 "show" I made time for was the Watergate hearings, which I watched nightly with my college classmates in our student lounge. We were glued to the 온라인카지노추천. Afterwards, I was just glad that Nixon resigned--I never watched the Frost/Nixon interviews. But I had read the unexpected ending of the interviews in the newspapers. While, the context in the movie probably made Nixon's statements seem more black and white (that's what I've read), I want to thank Ron Howard and all of the many people who helped to make this movie for finally making Nixon's statements real to me. Great movie!

I think the discussion of Frost/Nixon needs to start with a statement about the challenge of acting while impersonating. Because Richard Nixon is an extremely famous historical figure, he has been impersonated by people (particularly comedians) for decades. That means the challenge for Frank Langella is finding a way to embody this character without becoming another caricature or parody. That is probably the most impressive aspect of this entire film. I never once felt Langella was mocking, and he never fell out of the character either. Perhaps the best compliment I can pay him as an actor is that there came a point in Frost/Nixon where I just forgot it was an actor playing a role, and I thought of him as Nixon. Michael Sheen didn’t have quite as high of a mountain to climb since David Frost is not as much of a household name, but I also thought his performance was brilliant. This was definitely a film with a stacked cast that all did a wonderful job. Prior to watching this movie, I was unaware that any of this happened. It was fascinating to see the process that these men went through in order to acquire an interview with the former president, and also the amount of time and effort that went into research and preparations so that they could get to the truth. All of this created a superb build to the film, and left me anxiously anticipating the moment when recording would commence. I think this is where the movie most suffers from the limitations of being theatrical feature length, though. Because they need to trim down the footage of these interviews in order to make this a reasonable 2-hour film, I felt like they lost a little of the magic that was created in this 온라인카지노추천 interview. These two men were essentially having a verbal boxing match, and we only see the highlights. As a result, there were moments when I felt that they didn’t go deep enough into how amazing Frost was in getting Nixon to the point of confession. That’s not to say the movie fell flat or didn’t achieve its goal. In fact, the first thing that I wanted to do after the movie ended, was seek out the footage from the original interview. Since the movie had to compress things so much, all I wanted was more of the story to see how they got to the big finish. One of the stranger choices in Frost/Nixon was the fact that they formatted the film as if it was a documentary. They inserted one-on-one interviews with many of the characters in what felt like “present day” reflecting on what happened. In my opinion, they should have just used the actual historical people for those interviews, or left them out altogether. It never seemed like a necessary part of the film, and it was just an odd choice. However, the overall movie was a satisfying experience, and in a surprise twist it didn’t make Nixon look like the devil incarnate. It treated our former president with a modicum of respect, even though it was all about discovering the ugly truth behind the mistakes he made in the White House. That’s why I found Frost/Nixon to be an impressive and satisfying film.

Frank Langella was an amazing and convincing Nixon. the movie is well written, has pretty solid acting. Although it's a bit boring at the beginning and kind of drags, its starts to pick up when we met Nixon.

A dramatic tactical battle with the fate of America's political viability in the balance, Frost/Nixon benefits from the strength of its leads and an effective script. However, there is a balance to be struck between historical fact and cinematic license when determining what constitutes a lasting piece of film based on reality. In this context, the writers took considerable license in their depiction of the events, particularly their actual importance to political discourse and Nixon's own legacy, given that the actual interview was hardly a herald of a massive shift in public opinion and is likely best remembered for the "if the President does it, then it's not illegal" sound clip more than any cultural influence. Still, with the extent of executive power remaining a hotly contested political topic, there is still a degree of timeliness associated with Frost/Nixon to complement the strength of the performances. Great selection in establishing the supporting cast as well, but Langella is the standout in a depiction of Nixon that is far more nuanced than most. (4/5)

The acting in this is amazing and it's really well written.
