Measured against such a timeless classic, then, Irangate definitely rates as a grade B remake. Ronald Reagan, who for years has specialized as a bumbling Jerry Lewis type--witness his classic, What Disinformation Campaign?--simply does not exhibit the kind of depth necessary for the role of a mischievous villain...

What we really have here is a better-than-average sex farce about a geology teacher (Tom Hughes) who brings home a Harlequin romance hack named Vivien Bliss (Lynda Cohen) for a weekend tryst...

But whereas Dr. Strangelove's power stems from the way Kubrick's finger flirts with the Little Red Button, Tarkovsky presses the button down, then holds it, firmly, for two-and-a-half hours. The result is a film as difficult to assess as the Bomb itself, generating shockwaves of a political, moral, historical, and spiritual nature. The Sacrifice almost demands too much of the viewer, pushing him from breakdown...
