Part 3, the "how the hell can they wrap this up in 90 minutes" act of The Company. Let me say, as far as TV movies and minis go, this may be the best I've ever seen. My only complaint is that in order to wrap up the story with the fall of the Soviet Union, some big leaps in time were required.
Now, given the theme of the entire mini -- battle of good vs. evil, freedom vs. communism -- the fall of the USSR was fitting. But a filmmaker is out of his mind to think that you can wrap up without so much as a MENTION of Ronald Reagan. Who? Oh, I don't know, maybe the guy who won the freakin Cold War??!!! Unacceptable oversight.
The cynic in me says it wasn't an oversight at all, that the storywriter (book or screenplay) thought the most important man of the 20th century was too offensive or polarizing. Or maybe the director new that Ted Turner wouldn't fund anything portraying Reagan in a positive light.
I hope the writer just isn't old enough to realize Reagan's importance and I'm overly paranoid...
