Holy crap the ex president and all his morality(just say no to drugs crusade and invasion of latin america,remember) playing in a movie as an "immoral" bad guy slapping woman and shit and getting payed for it.
WTF?! If i were Willy Mays I'd be livid as shit if i saw that.
Willy Mays spending eternity behind bars for small amounts of crack because of old Ronny and Nancyrusade against those bad drugs and the users.
He matched small amounts of crack with the big time kilos of cocaine as the number one threat to America. Willy Mays has served his time ,hell, one year was enough.But over 15 years, Christ. Lets let the man go home and be with his family. It really pisses me off . And thats not the only guy behind bars because of the morality goosesterpping of the 80s. I wished Reagan got kicked in the balls in that scene.

One hilarious thing about this movie is that Cassevetes' character is named "North" -- as in "Ollie North" (I first saw this movie during the Iran-Control Scandal). Reagan goes around complaining about North and his inability to get the job done. It was funny at the time -- really!

Also, Dickinson's character's name is Sheila Farr, as in the Seattle Times art critic Sheila Farr. Of course, Reagan is ultimately killed by a very sinister (and dying) Lee Marvin.
