I wasn't doing much this evening, so I decided to give this a watch.
I am not too clued up on American History, so I did a little research before watching this film.
We are now aware of the Watergate scandal; this film was an electrifying battle of wits that revealed much about Nixon's and Frost's personalities, and ultimately uncovers the truth.
It not only recreated the unforgettable televised clash, but the weeks of tense behind-the-scenes negotiation to try and secure the interview which created history.
This was most fascinating; and had me gripped to my seat for 2 hours.
Later on, I watched the videos of the real interview on youtube, and the resemblance of the characters; Frank Langella as Nixon and Michael Sheen as Frost is striking. Definately recommended!
