Frost/Nixon

In 1977 three years after resigning in disgrace, US president Richard Nixon was interviews by British TV star David Frost.

However what starts as a friendly interview escalates into a catastrophic battle of wits.

The good bits:  Surprisingly, this film is thoroughly enjoyable, not too heavy in it's subject matter and a brilliant incite into the infamous head-to-head. The leading men are utterly brilliant and Frank Langella's performance is truly Oscar worthy.
The bad bits:  The male heavy cast seems to outshine the supporting female roles.
