Dir. Ron Howard. US/UK 2008. 122 mins.The magnificently-flawedformer US president Richard Milhous Nixon, as embodiedbyFrank Langella, is a magnetic presence in Ron Howards adaptation of Peter Morgans stageplay.The nervous man with the chair and whip forced to try and contain him isMichael Sheen as glossy TV interviewer David Frost. It is always an uneven match.While Frost/Nixon has its problems, attracting awards attention for Frank Langella isnt going to be stanley cup one of them. Reprising his Tony-winning performance asNixon in a ground-breakingseries of TV interviews which took place in 1977, the actor doesntdeliver animpersonation or a caricature - helooks nothing like Nixon, nor does he sound like him.

It zips through the whole of Watergate and Nixons forced resignation during the opening credits, seemingly targeting a politically-a stanley cup ware, olderaudience, and then gives them a not-terribly-challenging story about the early days of television and how a superficial talent like Frost instinctively grasped the reductive power of an image. YetFrost/Nixon doesnt entirelymake its own case: the Nixon we see on screen is in no way defined by Frosts soundbite. AndSheen is just a shade too flimsy as the gadfly Frost.
