Frost/Nixon (15)

Plot
Prospecting for TV gold, nascent talkshow star David Frost (Sheen) sets up an interview with former President Nixon (Langella), intent on needling out a confession for Watergate. But the former American leader proves a more formidable foe than he counted on.

Verdict
Stirring stuff that works thrillingly as drama, and should make Sheen a star, even if it compromises on historical insight.
