Brink of War

Just saw the Angel Studio feature on the Reykjavík meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev. It was an interesting film from a history standpoint. Whether there is any way to gage how accurate the movie is, I don't know. It's basically two guys sitting at a table talking about arms control, nuclear reduction, human rights, and SDI.

Jeff Daniels did an admirable job as Reagan, he had the mannerism down pretty good. Same with Jared Harris as Gobachev. The acting was solid but I think the director could have amped up the tension in someway to make it more compelling.

Hope Davis played Nancy but to me she looked more like Hillary than Nancy so that was a bit distracting. She, or the character, was the weak link in the movie.

If you like history it's worth a watch.
