The Bottom Line:
Nixon contains a lot of fascinating material, from Anthony Hopkins´ magnificent performance to Oliver Stone´s interesting take on Nixon as a tragic hero, but eventually it wears out its welcome due to poor choices by Stone (the constant flashbacks to Hannah Nixon) and an incredibly overlong running length with some scenes (e.g. Sam Waterston as the CIA director) that beg to be cut; if you´re interested in the Nixon presidency the film may involve you, but its greatest achievement is merely to show how much Oliver Stone hurts his own work simply by being Oliver Stone.
2.5/4 . And summed up by saying If ever there was a film begging for editor´s shears. Currently Nixon - The Election Year Edition has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
