Frost/Nixon Trailers

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's ability to hold his own. But as the cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted.

Reviews
Konterr Brilliant and touching
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
marieltrokan The obstacle, of tolerance being correct, is the acceptance of intolerance being incorrect: intolerance is violence, and violence being incorrect is violence being violence.The acceptance of violence being violence is the acceptance of violence that isn't tragic.Violence that's not tragic is violence that's good. The acceptance of violence that's good is the obstacle of non-violence that's bad.Bad non-violence is violent non-violence. Violent non-violence is the same as corrupt non-violence, or corruption that's pure.Obstacle is violence. The violence of pure corruption is the non- violence of impure purity - the purity of violent purity.The purity of violent purity is the goodness of purity that's deceptive. Deceptive purity is sinister purity. Sinister purity is evil purity.Frost/Nixon is a repulsive and sickening movie, because it's a movie that believes in the concept that reality should go out of its way to protect a false version of decency and quality
Stu-24 As close to an American masterpiece as it gets: honest, touching and politically charged, this film humanizes a point of contention that still matters to this day. Frank Langella gives a performance I did not know he was capable of: not mere impression, but a complete engagement in his character, an understanding at a core level of a man who is subject to as much caricature as any politician since Ceasar. Bravo.
thamburaan A perfect gathering of unbeatable artists who can make a role forever remembered. This film really makes a true bid to the actual events which happened. Even though its a full reel of conversations and emotional drama, I enjoyed this through out. Always Ron Howrad has been amazing in creating films which has huge acting output. Like A beautiful mind, Da vinci code etc. Like those this is one of his finest product. The major attraction of this movie taken away by Frank Langella & Micheal Sheen, I really admire Frank Langella's acting in this, its so emotional and real. As the character goes by the exact emotional reflections can be taken out from his face. Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt and every other cast did their part very well, in the matter of acting the movie goes up in the air for the dedication8 out of 10
D' Francis Frost/Nixon was captivating the whole way through. It was a competition between two men, a political outsider and insider both looking to use the media to advance their careers.The film does fawn Frost's legacy though. In real life, Nixon's admission to his crimes was a decision he had planned rather than one that Frost maneuvered out of him. Langella's portrayal of Nixon was uncannily accurate, except his Nixon was far more empathetic than the real one.Some bits of fiction were questionable. The shoe scene was pure Hollywood. Nixon's drunk call never happened, but it shed light on the insecurities and motivations that the real life Nixon faced. Nixon got into politics because he was constantly bullied and stepped as a young adult. The line between education and entertainment was certainly crossed, but it's a really engrossing watch nonetheless.
