I thought that their energy helped the film from dragging, which Howard's pacing did from time to time though this should be expected from a play adaptation. Also, I too was amazed by the amount of surprise and suspense within the film, despite everyone knowing the end of the film. The Wolf Man/Dracula...I mean Frost/Nixon is a refreshing award season movie not belabored by epic pretentiousness.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3240','Lyz Reblin'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3240','Lyz Reblin','I\'m surprised you didn\'t talk about the performances of Michael Sheen and Oliver Platt (who always seems to be ignored critically despite his comedic abilities).
