Movie review:
- GenerationofSwine: Wow, that’s a pretty fair movie, isn’t it? It comes from Oliver Stone. One would almost think it was a paranoid mess, but it’s done pretty well.
- Hopkins also does a great job…except maybe looking a little too old for the role, but he captures a lot of Nickerson’s mannerisms, a lot of the way he talks and moves. It’s far from incredible, but he does capture the essence of the character, which is almost better than cloning him.
- But Joan Allen failed. She doesn’t do her best imitation of Pat, leaving you with the impression that she doesn’t understand who she’s portraying.
- Then you have almost no hint at the JFK assassination conspiracy theories, and while I support them, I don’t think they have a place in a movie about Nixon. They have an Alien and X-Files feel to them, and you’ll wonder if said conversations ever happened.
- Other than that, though, this seems like a great, reasonably well-made movie about a guy who could easily be stereotyped as a drooling monster. Stone humanizes him, which takes courage and talent.
