For the performance of Lane, who plays Nixon, alone- giving this 7 stars.
Even though parts of this movie are seriously bizarre; seemingly an attempt to look at Nixon with sympathetic eyes (so strange), Lane gives a performance that will send chills down your spine.
Every gesture and word spoken are so eerily and to be honest, creepily like Nixon- for that alone this movie is riveting.
I hope subsequent viewers and even those who have seen this film will also look elsewhere for their information on Nixon's administration- while it's true there was "detente" with China and somewhat with Russia, we cannot forget the escalated violence against civilians during the Vietnam war. Definitely, Kissinger was also masterminding that, but Nixon carried it out during his administration. Not to mention Watergate, etc.
Entertaining film despite seeming goal of eliciting sympathy for Nixon.
