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. Likewise, Frost's team harboured doubts about their boss' ability to hold his own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Would Nixon evade questions of his role in one of the nation's greatest disgraces? Or would Frost confound critics and bravely demand accountability from the man who'd built a career out of stonewalling? Over the course of their encounter, each man would reveal his own insecurities, ego and reserves of dignity - ultimately setting aside posturing in a stunning display of unvarnished truth.

More 3.5 stars. An interesting film, acting was very good and I thought Langella did a really good job as Nixon. Did seem to show Nixon in a different view than I have always seen him.

A magnificent film that features fantastic performances from both Sheen (Frost) and Langella (Nixon) When you compare the film to the actual interviews you truly understand how good the performances are.
