The Assassination of Richard Nixon
Directed by Niels Mueller. Story: True story of an extreme assassination attempt by an everyday guy. Running Time: 1hr 35 minutes. Certificate 15.
Some movies come and go without you even noticing them being there, which is exactly the problem faced by the lead character in the Assassination of Richard Nixon. It's a shame that the movie has shared the same fate, as it's far fresher and compelling than many a headliner.
The Assassination of Richard Nixon is such a high quality movie that I recommend it most heartily to those who like serious movies such as Monster. It's extremely well acted, well written and professionally directed. Top notch. I enjoyed this film: I think the average moviegoer will enjoy it: Testosterone Satisfaction Rating: Some bad language and an attempted assassination scene involving shooting. To enjoy this film you should: enjoy serious films.

Cast: Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, Don Cheadle, Jack Thompson.
The Assassination of Richard Nixon, a true story set in 1974, follows ordinary guy Sam Bicke as he becomes increasingly
tired of being the downtrodden
underdog and decides to make a name for himself by popping the president. It's tricky to make a story like this stick
and so it's to the makers' huge credit that the viewer is sympathetic to Sam throughout the whole episode. This is
achieved by making a detailed character study of Sam through the various parts of his inadequate life, failed marriage
and depressing job as a furniture salesman. As Sam becomes more disillusioned with life and the system, we flash-forward
to him recording his thoughts on a tape to Leonard Bernstein as he plans the assassination.
Sean Penn is the shy but decent underachiever Bicke, and it's his performance that is the centrepiece, determining whether
the movie lives or dies. Fortunately, Sean Penn acts out of his skin, delivering an Oscar-worthy performance and
making us sympathise with his plight, while staying short of actually encouraging us to bump off world leaders. Naomi
Watts, as Sam's ex-wife, provides finely judged fuel to Sam's frustration and Jack Thompson delivers a full-bloodedly
obnoxious furniture selling boss. All these fine performances conspire to create a real sense of emptiness in Sam's
prospectless life.
As the end credits roll, we're left with a continuing sadness and fatalistic feeling that maybe some people just aren't
ever going to succeed in a dog-eat-dog world. It's most definitely not an uplifting film, it's a very real and
personal story so it's not a first-date movie, nor is it for the popcorn brigade.
