Love him or hate him, he was a larger than life figure at a time when the world needed him to be just that. The Soviet Union was "evil", and they tried like hell to bring their evil here. He stood in there way. Dennis Quaid was amazing as was Penelope Ann Miller. Great directing and script. I cried twice. The Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 19% is such obvious political hackery. There are some similarities in personalities and life stories between Reagan and Trump, but they are very different people. Rhry dont think so, though. They would give a movie about a fake superhero a nearly 100% score, but a real life hero who saved the world from nuclear Armageddon gets a 19%. They know no shame.
