I'm sure Frank Langella gives a fantastic performance as ol' Tricky Dick Nixon. The performances are probably going to be the only thing about this production that will be of any interest. It seems a little forced to be pushing a film about a journalist kicking Nixon in the shins. This trailer makes me ask "why?" Why does this film need to be seen? Why was it made? What's the point? Now, granted I'm a conservative guy so I have some sizable bias here, but seeing the vindictive, self-important "journalists" talking about how Nixon needs to get the "trial that he deserves" seems a little hollow when I recall how blind the same media was towards President Clinton's rape allegations, drug use allegations and all the rest. When are we going to get a movie showing the Ken Starr office's battle to impeach a President who thought he was above the law? We won't but we will dip back thirty years to dredge this up. Hopefully we'll get another McCarthy Era movie out as well.

This may be a good movie, Ron Howard is fronting the thing, but this shoots up my media bias red flags big time.
