I was 8 years old when the events

I was 8 years old when the events of this HBO movie transpired, and I remember it like it was yesterday. I even had a recurring nightmare of Reagan being kidnapped while visiting my town. James and Sarah Brady are heroes of the gun control movement, and their efforts should never be minimalized. But that doesn't necessarily make for compelling movie making. Despite strong performances by both Bridges and Allen, this is ultimately an average television movie not unlike other average television movies of its era. It feels like a Wikipedia version of actual events, and while I was naturally compelled by the story itself, there is nothing particularly special or extraordinary about this biopic. I'm glad it exists, particularly for those not as familiar with what happened March 30, 1981, but as a cinematic event, it's sadly nothing special.

Sometimes things in life happen without giving us

Sometimes things in life happen without giving us a warning Beau Bridges is James Brady, the press secretary man who took a bullet for Ronald Reagan during the 1981 presidential election The shooter was John Hickley, Jr. Regan survived but Brady had to deal with his faced being severely injured and being nearly crippled from the waist down His wife, Sarah played by Joan Allen stays by his side It takes all his strength to get back to his duties with intense physical therapy and learning to use his verbal skills again This also leads James to pursue more strict gun control laws henceforth the passing of the Brady Bill This is one of Beau Bridges' most committed performances as a man not asking for pity or sympathy but for not to have anyone go through what he did Short but shows how someone is still capable of doing his job despite the limitations
