Cuba Gooding Jr. I found very impressive and Ed Harris plays well as always. The story may be somewhat standard, but the film remained fascinating from start to finish, partly due to the good performances of those 2.

Nice movie, and well played by Cuba Gooding Jr.
In the beginning I had to get used to his personality, and thought it seemed a bit too made, but after a while I saw that he did it very nicely.
It is not easy to come across as mentally handicapped convincingly.
The documentary on the DVD with the real Radio and the coach is also very nice to watch.
A film with a wise lesson. 3.5*

Very sympathetic drama in which Gooding Jr. proves that he is capable of quite a bit every now and then. The drama part is presented in a subdued way and the inevitable opponent doesn't have the upper hand during the entire film (to become the 'goodguy' for the last 5 minutes). Ed Harris is always good of course.
Pleasantly surprised!
