Wasted opportunity by Oliver Stone on this one. I am so disappointed. There is no emotional connection to anyone. The story is confusing, disjointed and made no sense. I loved the first Wall Street movie. Take a pass on this edition.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I absolutely loved it. It had all the emotions - happiness, sadness, laughter and more. Everyone should see this, including and especially the homophophic among us. Bravo!
I only wish this movie had been released earlier so that the confused electorate of California could have been enlightened before the tragic vote on Prop. 8 this year.
Frank Langella has Nixon down perfectly. Having grown up in the Nixon era, I was convinced. The mannerisms were perfect. Michael Sheen does a good job as Frost, but not quite as convincing as Langella's Nixon. I thought this was an excellent portrayal of the inner and outer Nixon, post presidency. For this reason I would have reversed the title to NIXON/FROST.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone interested in a fascinating chapter in American history. Ron Howard does it again.
