What people are saying
Updated nightlyIt’s a pretty even three-way split, with Jeff Daniels' Reagan and Jared Harris' Gorbachev getting the most attention in this nuclear negotiation thriller. While the performances are solid, the story itself is seen as a fairly standard, middle-of-the-road political drama. A few supporting roles, like J.K. Simmons' George Shultz, left people particularly cold. In the end, it’s a competent historical piece that doesn’t quite spark the tension it promises.
