My Review

“Killing Reagan” is a outstanding political drama about the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan in 1981 and the effect on his life and on his presidency. Stars Tim Matheson and Cynthia Nixon do an excellent job of capturing the essence of Ronald and Nancy Reagan’s personalities and how she turned to astrology for help and how the President realized that God granted him more time to do His will.

Director Rod Lurie (“Nothing But the Truth”2008) and teleplay author Eric Simonson were meticulous in their efforts to keep this made-for-television project factual and accurate. It is based on the 2015 book of the same name by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard. Co-stars include Jeff Harlan as Michael Deaver, Joel Murray as Edwin Meese, Kyle S. More as John Hinkley Jr., Michael H. Cole as James Brady, Geoff Pierson as James Baker, Patrick St. Esprit as Alexander Haig, and John L Smith Jr. as President Jimmy Carter.

The watchable and informative “Killing Reagan” was first broadcast on the National Geographic Channel in October, 2016. It is a product of Scott Free Productions.
