TRUST, BUT VERIFY.

Ironically enough, a biography about President Reagan made by people who tend to support Trump, whose style, experience, wit and policies often stand in stark contrast.

The primary argument of the film is that Reagan brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union; questionable, but it serves the film well enough as a theme.

Dennis Quaid is not bad in the lead, but the writing is a let-down; often shallow, dishonest and sycophantic.
