Radio Movie | USsPost.com:Set in the 70’s this film focuses on the life of James Robert Kennedy (Cuba Gooding Jr), a black man affected with some sort of a mental disorder.

Many do not understand his state of mind until he gets ill treated by a bunch of boys at the local high school. Coach Harold Jones (Ed Harris) comes to his rescue and thus begins a beautiful relationship based on human kindness.

A lot of ups and downs mark the duo’s journey. Some are more affecting like the incident where James (nicknamed Radio thanks to his attachment to the electronic device), loses his mother and also the one where Coach Jones steps down from his position as coach just so he can take care of Radio, thereby assuring the school administration that there’s someone always keeping an eye on him.

Very bleak, with zero glamour elements, the film has only the strong script and the talented actor’s realistic portrayal of the characters to keep us glued to the movie. But for what the message is worth and the fact that the movie is based on a real life story, this one’s worth catching up on!
