I watched 10 minutes of this - the language was so filthy I couldn't be bothered to watch any more.
While Anthony Hopkins is not Nixon he and the producers make him and his time come alive. The relentless striving for superiority at all cost is portrayed well. Great actinhg!!
How 'Tricky Richard' (sic – this site wont allow the abbreviation of Richard that rhymes with 'Tricky') did any work, or made any rational decisions, as President whilst he always had a glass of whiskey to his lips, as Olive Stone portrays him, escapes me. But then I think - he (Nixon) did lift the Bamboo Curtain, raised the Iron Curtain (well, enough to slide a glass of vodka under anyway) and had more US Presidents than Roosevelt at his funeral (some may ingraciously say only to confirm that he was actually dead). As a movie - terrific stuff. Great direction and screenplay by Oliver Stone. Well photograped, exceptional continuity, and very well casted. If you are a movie buff, this is a movie you would want to have in your collection. (No copying though, that's illegal - like Watergate)

Anthony Hopkins again proves his skills, in virtually every scene of the movie. Was he manipulated, or the manipulator .. a good man or rogue? There's a lot of crdible truth in this movie and one that shuld be promoted ... every 4 years!
