Disturbed by how the youth of our country is being taken down a bad road by drugs, Elvis decides to take action. He decides to go on an undercover mission to meet President Nixon, and become an agent undercover against the war on drugs. When the White House finds out they use the opportunity for their own gain. Nixon's advisers want to find a "friend" for him to make him more popular with voters. Elvis's big personality clashes with Nixon's conservative nature during their private meeting behind the most request National Archive Photo.
This movie had it's funny moments. It was not the funniest film by far this year. However, Spacey did a fantastic job as Nixon. The movie mainly shows how Elvis was feeling and living during this time and what it meant for him to get a badge. His home life was starting to shift and it seemed that he felt like he didn't have much control over a lot of things. A badge was different though. If he had a badge he felt like he had more power or control over something.
