Review: Frost/Nixon
Ron Howard is an acclaimed drama director, and he knows how to give every movie a special twist. Still, somehow most of his movies are just above average, with the truly memorable dating back from the eighties and nineties.
This one is no different, a movie leading up to just one interview, filmed analogous to a Rocky boxing movie. The strategy, the training, the sparring and ultimately the final confrontation. It’s quite interesting, but honestly, the trailer seemed more explosive. The interview might be a bright spot in real history, but in movie history, while good, it’s still missing the wow-factor.7½.
