Frost/Nixon is a film adaptation of Peter Morgan's play of the same name. The Arizona Reporter review believes "the results are riveting. Here is a political movie that tramples Oliver Stone's W into the dust, making us wonder whether Stone is a sell-out. Director Ron Howard, by contrast, dazzles with a partisan exposition, though he and scripter (Peter) Morgan are not entirely unsympathetic to poor Mr. Nixon."Arizona Reporter: Movie Reviews: Frost/Nixon (November 12, 2008)
