Movie Haiku:Dramatic reenactment of David Frost's historic 1977 interview with Richard Nixon. Langella's Nixon is truly heartbreaking & Sheen holds his own, but the whole never quite comes together. Also, for Jan, Rebecca Hall's role as Frost's "companion" was needlessly distracting. Best part: Kevin Bacon's silent suffering as Nixon's aide.
