From what I've read I do agree, Frost was a little underplayed here and I was surprised how much of the film was the lead-up to the interview itself but I still think it held really well, helped by the acting. Ron Howard was smarter to play it safe than to risk stuffing up what really is an important event in American history. He would've likely been crucified had he not done it justice.

1. It's too reliant on that one scene. Everything is building up to one moment, and it's terribly lucky it can get away with retaining our attention till that point. Given how successful the film is, I'm probably alone on this view…but I can't help but feel like the film had some serious pacing issues.

2. The inaccuracies of Frost's on screen character detracted from the film for me. The film goes out of it's way to look like a documentary, so you'd hope there was more truth to its leading character. It plays him as a real underdog, to make it more dramatic I assume, when really he wasn't such an underdog. Frost had done many political interviews prior to Nixon, so he wasn't as "outclassed" as the film kept insisting he was.

It's still well directed, despite the fact that Howard plays it safe as always, and the acting is superb. Also, the pay off is worth it in the end. Yet I couldn't give it more than 3 1/2 stars. It's not year best material in my mind.
