Film Review - Reagan
September 04, 2024
Sean McNamara is a film director who likes to work. He’s not one to pay close attention to quality, content to churn out movies with limited budgets, with sustained employment his career goal, not the shaping of artistic statements. McNamara tries his luck with Americana in “Reagan,” though this picture has some gray at the temples, as it was shot four years ago, newly revived to take advantage of political fever brewing during this election season. Screenwriter Howard Klausner (“Space Cowboys”) has it all here, looking to reach a specific audience with his take on the spirit of the U.S.A. as it carries one man from Hollywood to the White House, becoming a leader with help from his indefatigable love of his country and the power of acting. Perhaps there’s something to be found in a true study of ambition and power, but “Reagan” isn’t that feature. It’s a bio-pic of Ronald Reagan from the director of “Baby Geniuses and the Mystery of the Crown Jewels,” “Cats & Dogs 3: Paws Unite,” and “Bratz.” Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
