Yes, it is flawed..much like the two protagonists themselves but I enjoyed it so much I want to see it again.
The longer I watched Frank Langella the more he became Richard Nixon and his performance really put the hook in me. Not perfect but he reached into something of the Nixon character that I've come to know from books and video of the man himself.
It seemed that Langella was purposely playing it lite and easy in the early going but by the third act he was fully in character after that dark night of the soul he/Nixon has.
Very good stuff.
