However, the film was not without its shortcomings. Many viewers felt that the process of the duel between Foster and Nixon in the second half of the film was a bit hasty and thin. The former was too involved in the role of a tabloid reporter, and the interaction between the two parties was only in form. More than fierce, like a fighting battle. The performance of the supporting roles in the film is also unsatisfactory, except for Foster’s side assistants who behaved cleanly, Sam Rockwell and Matthew McFadden did not disappoint, but Rebecca Hall in the film It's completely a big vase, it's really overkill. On Nixon's side, with the exception of Kevin Bacon's excellent supporting role, the other staff did not give any role, and Patricia McCormack did not even have a line.
