Review of Frost/Nixon (2008) by Lawrence M — 28 Jul 2010

Surprisingly inert. The film is well-made in a technical sense, but it does not deliver any dramatic tension whatsoever. In that sense then, the film becomes more like an infomercial refresher on Nixon post-Watergate than a truly dramatic encounter over the issue of whether he would admit wrongdoing.

Also, the interview device was redundant and therefore unnecessary--those interviews told us nothing that wasn't apparent from the "action.".
