      Steve D Powerful look at the last days of a presidency. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Lane Smith does the best ever impersonation of Nixon, followed up with generally good performances from the rest of the cast. Perhaps it's too long, and some scenes are unnecessary to underline Nixon's character, like his relation to Brezhnev. However, it's well executed cinematografically, with a credible dramatization of the events. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member If you are as interested in history movies as I am, you would love this film. The Watergate scandal era is a very interesting one and I found the movie very well paced and never losing its momentum. Lane Smith is amazing as Nixon. He played the role very well down to Nixon's mannerisms and body language. The script tends to let you make your own conclusions as to how guilty Nixon was, showing you a very fractured and troubled personality. I would really recommend this film!
