Frost / Nixon (2008 Ron Howard)

Peter Morgan's recreation of famous encounter (based on  his play) is not the **** film that Maltin and his team claim; though it's well acted and engrossing not enough happens over its two hours. Martin Sheen and Frank Langella are brilliant in the lead roles but there's good stuff in the supporting cast of Oliver Platt, Sam Rockwell, Matthew MacFadyen and Kevin Bacon; Rebecca Hall has a non-part.

Photographed and operated by Salvatore Totino, Oscar nominated editing by Dan Hanley and Mike Hill - though to this casual viewer there's nothing particularly special about the way the interviews are edited, music from Hans Zimmer. Good makeup / wigs.
