    • Trivia
      Jerry Parr was a 9-year-old boy when his father took him to see the movie Code of the Secret Service (1939) starring Ronald Reagan as dashing agent Brass Bancroft. The film inspired Parr to join the U.S. Secret Service, and he was widely credited with saving Reagan's life during the 1981 assassination attempt. Parr later told Reagan how the movie had influenced him to become a Secret Service agent. The president reportedly laughed and said, "That was the cheapest film I ever made."

      When the Hinckleys are at their table eating, we see a Pepsi bottle with a 21st-century logo. It's quite different from the one used in 1981.

    Quite scary and thorough

    Even though you know what happens the movie was exciting. The movie follows Reagan just before election to the first few months in office. Concurrently we get a look a the mental state of John Hinckley Jr's point of view and misguided motivation. It's scary how he slipped through the cracks. The actual shooting and scenes at the hospital are thorough and clear.

    Liked the way they show the different players in the White House. Cynthia Nixon doesn't look or act like Nancy. The wig and outfits don't help. Tim Mathison acts and talks like Reagan even if he is younger.

    Worth watching.
