Review of Frost/Nixon (2008) by Taylor V — 15 Jan 2012

Interesting chronicle about the days after Richard Nixon's resignation in the Mid-1970's. A British television personality, David Frost (Michael Sheen) tries to score big by trying to get a guilty confession out of the ex-president (Frank Langella) by showing an on air interview, scooping up undiscovered and theorized (by the people) faults of the disgraced leader.

However, a number of problems ensue, including the fact that Frost has dig out of his whole pocket to fund the broadcast. Pretty interesting documentary of the late president, who many declared as the worst in U.

S. history (probably that is not in debate because of the leadership of George Bush Jr.). One small problem I had was that I compared it with the great film "All the President's Men" which showed the events, due to the investigations of reporters Woodward/Bernstein, that lead to Richard Nixon's resignation.

It wasn't as good and for that, I was somewhat disappointed. It is still good film, none-the-less, even though I wish it was in the same league as the 1976 hit.
