Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost of the film was shot in Oklahoma due to a then-new tax rebate law launched by the state in 2020, and due to COVID-19 restrictions that were much lighter compared to other states. Filming took place in Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Edmond, and Crescent, Oklahoma. Using CGI and special effects, the Oklahoma City Capitol Building was dressed up to look like the United States Capitol Building, and the Temple of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Guthrie doubled for The White House.
- GoofsThe closing credits misspell the name of George Shultz (played by Xander Berkeley), giving his last name as "Schultz".
- Quotes
Ronald Reagan: Ask yourself. Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier to buy things from a store than it was four years ago? Is there more, or less unemployment in the country? Is America as respected throughout the world?

Conventional Biopic Lifted by Good Writing and Excellent Performances
This movie is a hagiography of President Reagan, and whether you like it or not may depend largely upon your political inclinations. The film is a Cliff Notes' version of Reagan's life, but given the scope of his life, there seems no way around that in a movie of conventional length.
The acting is generally impressive. Though he doesn't look much like Reagan, Dennis Quaid captured his voice accurately and gave an inspired performance, and Penelope Ann Miller also created a believable portrait of Nancy Reagan. The film relies heavily on Reagan's actual speeches and is a good reminder of the power of language in politics. As Kennedy said about Churchill, "He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle." The movie suggests that Reagan helped to win the Cold War with his rhetoric and his powerful delivery. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Setting aside politics, it's an entertaining movie and a good, albeit one-sided, history lesson about the 40th president of the United States. I liked it.
