As my life was jam packed during the Reagan years...it was historically accurate - uplifting our country as it is really one of the few countries where we have liberty ! (which is different from freedom) , Looking back, if Reagan had been elected rather than Ford...you wonder where the trajectory of our country would have gone. And after voting for Carter while in University - and when mortgage interest rates were in the low 20% when I was trying to buy a house - so glad to vote for a strong President who brought the hostages home from Iran...a country whose leadership hates what the USA stands for. Well acted by both Dennis Quaid & Penelope Ann Miller ! Tomato people will probably hate it...so that means it is a great movie !
The movie was historically on point and the acting fit perfectly well with the movie. Loved it!!
Very accurate movie.Two things were not mentioned in the movie. 1. Our hostage situation in Iran, was going no where. Reagan openly said if they were not released, by the time he took office, he would eliminate the problem of Iran, and he meant it. As soon as he took office they were released, No payments made. Soviet Russia, took notice of this. The second thing that took place at the end, was He agreed to stop the star wars program, in exchange for tearing down the the Berlin wall, etc. He also dealt harshly with Satanic communism in this country. God Blessed him and touched both the USA and Russia, in a good way (Spiritually). It was harder for Russia, but eventually led to a big Revival there in the early 90's. Pray for Revival here, and Russia. The Holy Spirit told me he isn't done, with Russia and the USA. Stand by for huge Revivals, all over the World, God bless all.
Acting was very good. Brought back a lot of memories.
Very well scripted and made you feel that you were right there as it happened. I learned allot about Ron Reagan that I never knew growing up when he was the president. He was the right person at the right time.
Very good on the history of a president. Oh for more presidents like him. A man of integrity!
Great movie about the best President America has ever had. We need another one like Reagan.
Glorifying an awful man who took down unions and stagnated wages.
Quaid was real & convincing as Ronald Reagan. All acting & directing was superb! Went back to see it a 2nd tie.
Today's progressives as well as past liberals will hate this movie but patriots and Americans will live it. Quaid does an exceptional job. Reagan was a good president and did some historical milestones but like all Presidents, will not satisfy all.
