Frost/Nixon - Howard, 2008

Ron Howard is another director I think is vastly over-rated. In fact, I mostly detest his work. And this is a weird choice for a subject. The Frost/Nixon interviews are fascinating to watch on their own, so why make a movie about them when you can just watch the originals?

That was my first reaction anyway, but I have to say that Howard did add some interesting background here. And, Sheen and Langella are both very good as the title characters.

So, this is Howard's best film and a 6 rating.
